'HELLO, STATUE?'-St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, has a home in the Thousand Oaks yard of Mary Leon. His dish holds birdseed. According to Leon, the furry little guest is either paying his respects to St. Francis-or he's blatantly stealing birdseed, which is almost a sacrilege. As much as we like to think positively about squirrels, we're skeptical that the visitor in this case is up to anything good. Congratulations, Mary, for this tremendous Squirrel of the Month photo. Other readers, too, can get their picture in the paper (their picture of a SQUIRREL, by sending it to the address on page 4 or by e-mailing a digital image to steve@theacorn.com. You can be famous, like Mary.
