The Call: An Abundance of Acorns — Jessica

It’s no wonder the squirrels around here are so fat this winter — you should see the acorns just rotting away all over the ground.

Catherine, Luke, Danny and I went to the playground this afternoon to walk down by the creek to gather rocks for Catherine’s geology badge when it began to sprinkle. Since I didn’t want to get stuck all the way down by the creek if it really started to rain, we stayed around the playground instead. Catherine and Luke ran and tossed balls and screamed at the top of their lungs while Danny and I strolled around with the camera. What a treat!

It was then that I noticed all the squirrel treats laying on the ground. Poor squirrels! They got nice and fat this winter and we haven’t had much snow at all!

Treats around here generally involve chocolate.
