This is a lovely topic. So much better than the news these days.

In Cincinnati there is a pretty little village called Glendale. Glendale has black squirrels. In fact, if I am remembering this right, Glendale had those things (I do not know what to call them and I do not know what they are made of) but those things that artists paint with designs and display in various locations around the area, like on corners or near businesses. Glendale's were squirrels. (I sure hope I am not making this up. Graciegirl might know if I really saw big painted squirrels in Glendale.)

--about those "things" --I hope you know what I mean. Cincinnati had Flying Pigs several years ago. They are still around, having been sold to businesses for display. I saw painted horses on corners in Lexington once, or was it Louisville? And it seems like there may have been a furniture city that had chairs or sofas. I hope you know what I mean. You know, those "things." I always love seeing them. The artists do such wonderful work with their designs.

Anyway, Glendale loves their black squirrels.

We have an albino squirrel in our neighborhood.

And please, if anyone else sees big painted things like squirrels or flying pigs or whatever on street corners around the country, please tell me. I hope I am not imagining "things."
