Hidden Treasures

acorns have fallen 
trees half full- falling - browned leaves 
squirrels - winter hides

Sara Kendrick Date: 9/12/2018 5:28:00 PM Reads like a good contender..Way to go. The leaves here are turning brown and falling off because we have had a dry fall but I think that with this storm that is going to change. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. I appreciate it. Sara Login to Reply Charles Messina Date: 9/12/2018 6:27:00 PM Praying for your safeness with the storm, Sara. I am getting the tail end of it so it shouldn't be too bad.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 9/9/2018 5:26:00 PM Hello Charles Messina, I have always wondered about the squirrels, they gather their nuts, why? they do not sleep all through the winter.To me this is a mystery. Have a nice evening my friend. Login to Reply Charles Messina Date: 9/10/2018 9:13:00 AM Food sources are scarce in the deep of winter, why they don not sleep through the winter is a mystery. Thank you my dear friend Darlene.
