Our "Cheeky" Little Friend



Meet Cheeky, our new best friend. He scurries across the backyard fence, frantically carrying pinecones to some unknown location. He has been known to aim directly at John's head, and throw them down from atop the tree. He is busy, busy, busy tearing around all day with acorns also. (see next photo)


He jumps down off the fence onto our deck, then up into the flower pots. He then proceeds to tear out as much dirt as he can to make a hole or hiding place for his tasty acorns..(I think he knows something about the upcoming months). Even though he is noisy, pesty and does damage to our pots and John's head, we still think he is pretty cute. Where do squirrels go to keep warm in the winter?

The Utah Chamber Artists Entr'Acte night was a huge success! The gala event took place at Gardner Hall and we filled 15 tables with enthusiastic guests. The food was delicious and the program absolutely over the top! Monica sat at the desk in the Lowell M. Durham Lobby and welcomed everyone and told them where to sit. The Hall looked beautiful ! The tables were covered with ivory linen tablecloths. The centerpieces were so fun....5 different sized bottles filled with colored water; paint brushes leaning up against the bottles, and a single gerbera daisy with greens exploding out of a glass cylinder vase. The music was performed in usual fashion for such a professional group....every number was amazing! It was absolutely wonderful! If you haven't been to a concert, come!
