Happy Fall everyone! I know it's been fall for a while now but I'm just now formally acknowledging it as the past month has been a whirlwind of relatives moving in and out along with a host of other assorted 'non fallish' happenings that have finally settled down. I'm so very glad to be able to put my autumnal groove on now...thank heavens it's still October.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the season as much as the little squirrels on our property have. They've been extremely busy this autumn collecting the plethora of acorns that our neighbors magnificent oak tree produced this year. It was an outstanding crop, maybe due to the perfect summer we had (all that sun must have made the baby acorns very happy)...and the squirrels took full advantage of the bounty and were the busiest we've ever seen...they were in an acorn collecting frenzy!
And it seems it wasn't only our squirrels that were having a blast collecting the acorns...my students shared that their squirrels had been up to the same!
Miss. C's pretty squirrel had a lovely collection of delicious acorns, and was very adept at balancing them all.
While Miss. N's cute squirrel was running about so fast that her acorns were just bouncing all over the place.
Miss. R's sweet squirrel decided to collect pumpkins along with her acorns...very smart girl!
And poor Mr. M's squirrel was just having a rough time of it due to his trying to collect the largest acorns...took him all day just to get this one home!
Actually, collecting is the easiest part of harvesting acorns...getting them up into the tree is the tricky part!
Then the real work starts!
My students and I developed a new found admiration and appreciation for these adorably industrious creatures...now, if they would kindly stop digging up all of my bulbs, I'd have an even greater admiration for them!

Hi Jessica,
What wonderful interpretations of squirrels collecting nuts ..... they are all so imaginative and I LOVE Mr. M's !! He looks as if he is having a bit of a hard time with his !!
We have squirrels in our garden and,one of them must have buried lots of his in our lawn and was very busy retrieving them and making holes in the grass !! I still like them though.
Enjoy the rest of this pretty season. XXXX
What a nice collection of squirrels. They make me smile.
Here in Holland autumn did arrive as well. It makes me a little sad. I love the colors and it's fun to see the leaves dancing on the wind. But also it makes me remember times and people that pass. "Times that pass", is a Google translation, I don't know the real expression :-)
I liked to hear from you again.
Greetings from Geri
Happy fall!
