Squirrels and beer

As promised... a blog post on squirrels and beers!



This Saturday we went down to San Diego to take in a few of their nearly 40 breweries and to visit the zoo. Our favorite stop was at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey. A small scale company located in a nondescript, warehouse block-style building, you wouldn't know it's there except for a large tank outside the building emblazoned with the brewing companies' logos. I especially enjoyed the gorgeous hops vine growing up the tower. While we may be some ways away from attempting to brew our own beer, a decorative hops plant may be in our near future!

The big news this week was that Marcia, the squirrel rescue lady, returned to our backyard with a new box full of adolescent squirrels. We discovered Marcia last year when we rescued a baby squirrel and she told us that when we was old enough, she'd bring him back to our backyard to live! We decided to sign up for the yearly delivery. Doing our part for the "wildlife" of Los Angeles. They're really cute too.
