A squirrel family lives in the tall pin oak tree behind our house. We never have been absolutely sure how many there are, but we have seen as many as seven and the same time. The numbers in their family have stayed about the same for years. Because they look remarkably alike, we call them all "Chuck."

Some folks don't like squirrels, but we believe they have their place in the scheme of things and accept them. Herb even scatters some bird seed around the base of the tree for their benefit.

Our squirrels are a gray variety. But this morning we saw a new squirrel, a pale gray one, almost white. Must be something of an albino. We have decided to name the white one "Chuck Lite."

I wish I had a picture of Chuck Lite to show you, but he or she runs very fast and keeps a distance.
