So Fairy Glider would be more appropriate, but doesn't Fairy Diddle sound cuter?<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-10096937890509320392011-09-27T22:07:31.873-05:002011-09-27T22:07:31.873-05:00They sound like adorable little critters..ones I a...They sound like adorable little critters..ones I also would love to have around. <br />I loved your poem..but then you knew that I would! :)<br />One day as I sat on the front porch a few months ago..a little squirrel came bounding across the street..straight to our row of huge cyprus trees and disappeared into them.

My cousin had four children. They lived in a wooded area. The children caught a flying squirrel and kept it for a pet. They are nocturnal and Jean got tired of cleaning up after it. That was years ago. She probably made them turn it loose after she tired of all the mess it made in the house where it spent the night digging the potting mix out of all her houseplants!Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1526821574480507893.post-7029118918894240232011-09-27T17:22:35.681-05:002011-09-27T17:22:35.681-05:00Balisha,
