Sunshine on my Shoulders

NAP TIME

In the shed, a squirrel can hide,

But it’s dark and gloomy,

Warmer days now and I ride,

On the branches, “Zoomie!” 

Soon I’m tired of playing games,

Can’t keep up this pace,

Go away ye gents and dames,

While I rest my face.

 

See my head, it’s hanging down,

Too much work to lift,

No more danger all around,

Off to sleep I drift.

Thankful for my furry tail,

Just like in the nest,

Keeps me warm and without fail,

Sunshine does the rest

The squirrel is in the photos of the woodshed. Do you see him in the top left corner just under the edge of the roof? Over the last of the hoses?

  6. He knows where he’s got it good. Squirrels are so cute. On our forest walk yesterday, they were scampering about and not to be deterred by us humans. Happy Tuesday Anneli. Allan

  7. I have one that’s chosen a favorite limb for napping, and I often spot it there in the early afternoon. In the morning? It’s all zoomies! The whole group of them chase for a good hour or so, around and around (and around and around) the trees.

  8. I’m falling in love with your squirrel. Do they get the zoomies, too, like dogs do? Who knew?

  14. Now that you mentioned the squirrel in the first photo I discovered it by zooming in. In the last picture this lovely little critter is from the looks of it gradually drifting off into a deep slumber. Great photos, Anneli!
