What you are seeing in this picture is to front paws being followed by the rear making a pentagonish shape.When you measure this animal you want to measure the distance between the two rear paws because this is the width of the animal. Since you are in New England like me, you will be dealing with mice, chipmunks, and squirrels that will all look very similar to this. The measurement in inches are mice 1+, chipmunks 2+, red squirrels 3+, and gray squirrels 4+. This is very likely your chipmunk. keep tracking ;)

Neat! I would do that but I already took a small lamp and shade that I had and sat it inside the very same type of coffee pot a month ago. It's now a nice light in my kitchen on the microwave. I wish I did it a long time ago. :)

I bought it at County Fair Gifts, about 5 minutes from my place. Got this from my recipt www.countyfairgifts.com I have their phone number if you want it. Not toll free though.

We have some sense of things with the side view of plants. Regarding Cyclamen, I would say in the eastern US one would never find a seedling unless the gardener was already growing tubers or had planted seed. It's just not something that appears. They are tricky to grow here and need the right spot. Cyclamen purpurascens is basically evergreen while other species go dormant. C. purpurascens with a seedling next to it today. C. hederifolium in flower now another blurry shot of C. hederifolium , you can see the coil where it has begun setting seed. a copied quote ..". spent stems spiral earthward, thus earning its Greek derivation from cyclo or circle." C . purpurascens, very fragrant flowers.
