Adventure Playground

37 Comments

Oh, my goodness! See that woodpile,

I’ll explore it quite a long while,

Please don’t stack it. Let it stay ’round,

It’s my own Adventure Playground.

Sweet the smell of new cut firewood,

Forest fir, a fragrance so good,

Freshens up my furry coating,

“I’m so special,” I’ll be gloating.

Now the truck has left at last,

I’ll explore and have a blast,

Careful though, the wood may slide,

And I could get stuck inside.

So much wood to climb up on,

I can duck in and be gone,

Just in case the heavens rained,

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    Your squirrels have a nice playground under the woodshed. I hope you leave enough space for them to play.

    What a cutie — and I can smell that wood from here. Our baby mallards are appearing now, so there surely must be some baby squirrels in our area. Once they’re able to leave the nest, I’m sure some adults that visit my feeders regularly will bring the kids along.

    Very cute little squirrel. I love smell of freshly cut firewood. Those squirrels are very lucky to have found such a great place to call home. — Sonja

    Your squirrel is so cute, Anneli! Squirrels are very smart! My squirrels in California loved to climb down to my backyard to eat the bird seeds. I tried to chase him away, but as soon as I went back to the house, he came again. The fence in my current home is high and a little far away from the trees in our backyard. So far the squirrels can’t come down yet.

    What a beautiful place for a squirrel to romp, and your squirrel is so articulate, lyrical and wise. Much enjoyed, Anneli.
