The squirrels are always busy in the Fall gathering food. Also when the snow has fallen they still gather their nuts. They are Busy, busy, busy.I like this cute poem.

I like this one, how you had the squirrels at the end seeking their acorns. So you are numbering your KU, Kim? Good idea to do that!

Thank you, Andrea. I know that traditional haiku don't have titles, so I started numbering them. But then I couldn't remember what each one was so I started putting one word after the number so I 'd know which one was which.
