Squirrel Appreciation Day!

We've got someone in our house that appreciates squirrels everyday...Hula, our dog!  They use to provide hours of entertainment for her in our backyard in Denver, now she loves chasing them every time we go down to the harbor.  The best thing about the harbor squirrels are about a quarter of them have bleached blonde hair - they crack me up - I always picture those squirrels getting their highlights done together and talking trash on the others who have bad roots!

So, what is this day really about anyways?  Leaving out a little extra food for squirrels as they are probably running low this time of year.  What do they like? Unsalted sunflower seeds, unsalted peanuts, fruits and veggies.

Sounds like the perfect start to some awesome trail mix so get extra for you!  Trader Joe's is the perfect place to get all of your trail mix necessities.  I like to go 3 cups dried fruit, 2 cups granola and 1 cup nuts (usually almonds).
