I think we must really love squirrels. Deep down, I am sure most of us, as a population, really truly must: Cartographers, local government officials, sign-makers, citizens, students, poets, farmers and scholars.
Why else would we name so many of our homes and venues after these animals? Why else would we want constant reminders that squirrels grace this planet of ours? Wherever we go....there they are!
Just for sta
rters:
Squirrel Cove, on Cortes Island in British Columbia, Canada
Squirrel Falls in New Brunswick, Canada
Squirrel Point Lighthouse in Maine, here in the U.S.
Squirrel Island, also in Maine
Squirrel River in Alaska

Squirrel River Pines in Oneida County, Wisconsin

Squirrel Road in Belmar, N.J. (where a friend of mine owns a house!)
Squirrel Lane in Levittown, N.Y. (not far from where I grew up!)
Gray Squirrel Lane in New Port Richey, Florida
Squirrelwood Road in West Paterson, N.J.

I could, of course, keep digging and find more.
So could you.
And - so could they.

I am going to be rude and just come out and ask: How do you get those ads on blogger? I use blogger and, so far, no codes have worked and I would like to TRY to earn $1 a year or so. Would you please help me?
Not rude at all. Send me an e-mail with YOUR e-mail (I'm squirrelmama@earthlink.net) and I can give you more details without bogging down the blog. I use a service called Performix. And by the way, I haven't gotten a penny out of it yet so....go figure.
Awesome Blog. I like squirrels too.
