    I should look into making a video that uses it as a background music.
    Here, I spend a few minutes with her as she grabs some afternoon snacks. It was windy and actually tried to rain a little while we are out there. And I share my philosophy about the squirrel poaching our persimmons: They can't get all of them, so it's not really that big of a deal to me. But they have helped themselves to most of the green fruit that they can reach already. I suppose that's the reason fruit grows on the ends of the smaller branches -- to keep some out of reach of squirrels that come and eat it too soon.
    (Mary is an Eastern Fox Squirrel living in Los Angeles)
    P.S. Here's the Lyrics to Mary's Theme Song:
    Along Comes Mary
    by the Association (1967)
    Every time I think that I'm
    The only one who's lonely someone calls on me
    And every now and then I spend
    My time at rhyme and verse and curse those faults in me
    And then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    Then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    And does she wanna give me kicks
    And be my steady chick and give me pick of memories?
    Or maybe rather gather tales from all the
    Fails and tribulations no one ever sees?
    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
    Sweet as the punch!
    When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
    Whose sickness is the games they play
    And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks
    Make jokes as who is most to blame today
    And then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    Then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    And does she wanna set them free
    And let them see reality from where she got her name?
    And will they struggle much when told that such
    A tender touch of hers will make them not the same?
    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
    Sweet as the punch
    And when the morning of the warning's passed
    The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
    The psychodramas and the traumas gone
    The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars
    And then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    Then along comes Mary
    Mary, Mary
    And does she wanna see the stains the dead remains
    Of all the pains she left the night before?
    Or will their wakin' eyes reflect the lies
    And make them realize their urgent cry for sight no more?
    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
    Sweet as the punch
    When we met I was sure out to lunch
    Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch (x6)
    Sweet as the punch!

    Sorry to pop your bubble but that's not a fox squirrel. Fox squirrels have a longer bushier tail, like a FOX.

      @@jypseaspencer They are Eastern fox squirrels. The size of the tail varies from animal to animal and the time of year. Mary currently has a big bushy tail, but a few weeks ago she had shed it and it was fairly small. Thanks for watching!

      It just occurred to me that you may be thinking of Sherman Fox Squirrels if you live in an area in the Southern US where they are found. They are definitely different looking than the Eastern Fox Squirrels that I have here in Los Angeles. Much larger, longer tails, different colors. But they are related to the smaller eastern fox squirrels and less common.

      @@jypseaspencer Right. Their official name is the Sherman's Fox Squirrel. Wonderful squirrels. Mine are called Eastern Fox Squirrels. They are smaller and found all over the Eastern part of the US. They were brought to Southern California during the civil war era ... Soldiers had them as pets. Thanks for watching!
