Squirrel

SQUIRREL

the winter squirrel
eyes bright    twitching
has come to be fed
happiness
one large english walnut

Gotta love them, Daver! Love when they twich. furry balls of excitement. We had made a friend of one grey, it would climb up to our shoulders to be fed.:) Peepin', like the name of your cat, followed our every action, from the outside.:) Wishing you a Merry Christmas...better stock up on walnuts! Love you, Mikki
