Rescued Baby Chipmunks Return!

May 12, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Our babies have returned to “the nest” (see previous post Rescued Baby Chipmunks)! I was having lunch at the gallery the other day and heard something outside. I got up to look and there they were. All four of them—big, strong, healthy and rambunctious—and EATING what was there for them outside. Somehow they’ve made the transition from kitty kibble back to eating what nature provides. One of them (and I think it was my first guy who fell asleep next to me) still was pretty confident about me coming near. But it’s clear they’ve all gone back to the wild, which is what they needed to do. I knew you all would be just as happy to see them and to know how well they’re doing as I was, so here are a couple of photos of “the kids.”


Love to you all,
Jeane

      It is a happy continuation of their story isn’t it? They’re so big and strong! warms my heart when they are all dashing around in the “front yard.”

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
