Mug Shot: Squirrel Mug


 

So, funny thing about this mug. I don't know where it came from. My best guess is that it was left behind by a previous tenant in the last place we lived, and mistakenly packed and brought to Texas with us when we moved here. 

Which is ironic and annoying because space was at a premium when we were packing up, and I'd reluctantly let a lot of other mugs go. At least one of which I kind of regret. But anyhow...

This is kind of a cute mug. I suspect it's Japanese, given the flowers. And it's got a squirrel on it, which is ironic, as well. We have a LOT of squirrels where we live now. Gray, red, black, white--although I haven't seen the white ones in a while. My husband has befriended one of the squirrels who'd shown up to eat the birdseeds (that he originally was putting out for the birds). This squirrel (not the one in the picture) actually comes when he's called and would probably eat out of our hands if we were stupid enough to try it. We're not. 

Anyway, "bright eyed and bushy tailed" is probably as good a motto for your morning drink as anything, I guess.
