@alexhaist He or she may be wee but I bet we're fierce!
@isotope239 I fear for the chipmunk who I also saw in the woodpile...

@alexhaist I always think of that little essay "Living Like Weasels" (Annie Dillard, maybe?). They are such ferocious and admirable creatures.
@handmade_ghost I had not read that before. Freedom of necessity. Fascinating concept.

@alexhaist The little thing blends right in! Adorbs

@MargaretSefton I hope they stay.

@alexhaist ...and you have no insects, spiders, mice, or rats in that woodpile, nice!

@alexhaist Yes, exactly. I'm never quite comfortable with Annie Dillard's "we," but I love her account of her encounter and the blanked tapes of the mind, etc.

@elaterite I saw a chipmunk in there in the same ten minutes. I'm thinking I may have interrupted a nature documentary moment.

@alexhaist Well, Chipmunk better high-tail it out of there!

@catselbow they have peered at me through at least five different holes in the pile so far
Are you sure it isn't five different weasels?

You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You will always be my necessity
I'd be lost without youYou're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You’re the weasel in my woodpile
I'd be lost without youAnnette Hanshaw 2026
