Truro and the Amazing, Incredible, Truly Astonishing Flying Squirrel Condo

June 16,2008

Flying Squirrel Condo

I am so woefully behind in my blogging, but it's been a busy busy week. We managed to get to Beautiful Truro, here at the raggedly ass remote end of Cape Cod, at six in the morning after driving all night from NYC. On this score, I must give all glory to Mr. Weiss, who did a great imitation of the Energizer Bunny right up until the end when he almost took us off the road about 10 miles from our house. But we caught it in time (Luckily, this happened during one of my few moments awake, so I screamed like a crazy woman and woke him up).

Now, anyone could post gorgeous pictures of the dunes and the marshes and the glorious limpid Cape light. I, however, have posted a horrible picture of the amazing flying squirrel condo that awaited us in the basement. During the winter, the squirrel family took up residence in a cardboard box that had two styrofoam inserts for packing small pieces of stuff. They brought in some insulation from another house and little pieces of vegetation and some string and little stones and all kinds of stuff and made nests in the styrofoam compartments. They had left by the time we arrived (maybe they go to Florida in the off-season?) but left us this truly impressive artifact.
