Yesterday, one of the gardeners saw this little guy fall about 25 feet from the roof garden on to the walkway at the front of the building. He survived the fall, thankfully, and the gardener brought him back out to the roof garden . A number of the residents of the building have been watching over him and making sure he has food since it appears that he’s a bit too young to be on his own but his mother seems to be nowhere to be seen.

He’s incredibly friendly. The gardener has been out to visit him during the day and the window washers, who are now here doing the spring clean, are as fascinated by this little squirrel as the rest of us! I looked out at one point today and there were the two window washers — one of them with Sammy on his arm and the other watching over him.

Every time DH goes anywhere near the roof garden, Sammy (as we have dubbed him) runs to see him and climb up his legs!

He spent hours out on the roof garden today with Sammy — at one point Sammy had crawled up his sleeve and was curled up having a nap.

A little nest was made for him in a cardboard box with a facecloth and Sammy seems to be quite happy with that accommodation.

As we were supposed to have a fairly heavy rainstorm today/tonight and as raccoons have been known to be on the roof garden, one of our neighbours took him in for the night and made him a cozy little spot indoors. We would have brought him in to our apartment, but were somewhat afraid the kitties would think he was an appetizer!

We’re hoping to find an animal wrangler in the film business who will take Sammy and let him lead a cushy life as a squirrel star!

To keep this somewhat quilt related, the little 9-patch blocks for the teddy bear quilt are now all complete and I have started putting the rows together. My goal is to have it finished by the end of the weekend.
