A squirrel hunting in the mountains
Searching for acorns among the fallen leaves
Filling up her winter larder
Before the ground does solid freeze
Diligent little creature
Storing up for the winter rest
She seems so lively
As she goes about her quest

Cute take on that line, Padre. Glad she’ll be well-nourished over the winter.

I’m so glad it was a squirrel doing the hunting and not a hunter after the squirrel! I hope it found plenty of acorns to fill its winter larder. The one in my garden seems to have found all it wants.

I like that you turned the phrase “squirrel hunting etc” to” A squirrel hunting etc.” You took the negative connotation and changed it to a charming poem. Bravo to you, Padre!

Busily going about her business, or it might be a his.? I’m not very good at identifier on the gender of squirrels. However I did like the nature of this piece you wrote Padre.

I love contemplating how simple life is for the critters……they carry on blissfully unaware of the tumult we humans have created for ourselves. Smiles.
