The sights around and inside the fabulous  +Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga can make a photographer's heart sing… and getting to shoot together with friends makes it all the more special.

I don't reshare a lot of stuff, but the story of dealing with this critter in the house will put a smile on your face.
… and if you haven't circled +Kalebra Kelby, what are you waiting for?

Reshared post from +Kalebra Kelby

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Get up! Hurry! Come quick! You have to see this!

What you need to know first.

It's early, real early when Yittle comes running in about this. Like before coffee early, get it?

Back to the story.

Okay, okay, I'm coming honey. What is it?! Is everything alright?!

"Yes, yes! (Takes my hand and pulls me along) I was heading to the bathroom and then—look!! What is it mommy?! What is it?!"

Now, even without coffee and even in a mostly dark house (I lightened up the photo for you) I could tell this was Maggie's chew toy—but what fun would it have been to just tell her that…

Whoa! Looks like a squirrel or something. Wonder how he got in the house?

Apparently, there is nothing more exciting to a Yittle than the possibility that a squirrel has entered our home. The squeals of laughter and excitement will stay with me forever! 🙂

Shhhh! Shhhh! Quiet Yittle! You'll scare him. Now, go get me a pasta strainer and a broom.

"Okay mommy! Wait. What are you going to do with them?"

Well, I'll need a helmet and a pokey thing.

"A pokey thing?! Don't poke him! He's cute!"

I'm not going to poke him. I'm going to guide him.

Strainer(s) on both our heads and pokey thing in hand we walk toward the…creature.

Yittle stop giggling. Since we're so much bigger, I think we should crawl up to him. Come on.

"Good idea Mommy. You go first."

Wait. What? Okay, we'll have to talk about that later.

Extending the pokey thing, I manage to be able to good and freak out the squirrel until it gets so worked up it hurls itself into the air, just clearing Yittle's strainer helmeted head! Oh the excitement! The nervous giggles (and fit of laughter that followed) left us out of breath!!! Hahahaha!

To be honest, I'm not at all sure that I wasn't being set up first, but (even if that were the case) we were both willing to go along with it and I'm so glad, happy, thrilled about that.

Whew! Think I'll get a cup of coffee now. 😉

Morning everyone!
