Got up to around 40 degrees today The January sun actually felt nice I decided to get outside to do some cleaning up Weather says tomorrow brings snow and ice Sweeping up under the feeders Raking various debris Out of the corner of my eye I saw him Working busily up in the tree Back and forth up and down the limbs he ran While I moved on to clean the bird bath I heard the clawing scampering to and fro As I finished raking the garden path Ive watched the baby squirrels daily this fall Since they emerged from the safety of their nest Momma taught them all they need to know To dodge feral cats + which hiding places are best She taught them to pose adorably When they hear the porch door slide on its track So that the nice lady from inside the house Will surely bring some nuts back So he was sure he could master the task Of building his own bachelor pad As he chewed branches and carefully carried them over To the ideal nook in the tree he had But, alas, it will be windy again tomorow And my raking task will again come to pass For the day she taught how to keep his home in tree He must have been absent from class
