Merrily Rollicking

Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

You know, Bill, when I was a kid we would often rake up a pile of leaves and roll or jump in it. Of course, when I was a kid, activities were rather limited, so we made do. (ha!)

Love watching them Milton. They are very territorial.. Protecting their burried walnuts and such. We use to have a lot but ever since they put the WiFi tower we hardly see any, anymore I wonder if they sense the radiation and move far away. The same for the chipmunks and birds. Really strange. We use to have so many squirrels, and chipmunks now we rarely see any. Thanks for sharing miss those beautiful animals..

Hmmm...it makes me wonder, too. Well, I hope they never put one near enough here to make my squirrels leave.
