Hippety-Hop-Brrrrr!

What do you do when the road you like to use is covered in snow?

You plow through at super-speed!

You swerve around and over hurdles!

You tunnel under snow mountains!

And shake it all off first chance you get.  Brrrrr!

Just Like Us

Of all the animals we share our winter with,

squirrels seem to be the most similar to us.

They hibernate when it gets really cold,

venturing out every once in a while in search of something to eat.

This lucky guy has found some peanuts someone has put out for him.

Notice how he keeps an eye on me.

Ready to spring into action

If I start looking a little too hungry.

Taking his treasure with him to eat at a safer distance,

He makes sure to hide it from me completely.

After filling its stomach it climbs up a tree to catch the last rays of the sun

Where it slowly begins 

To fall

Asleep.

Just like us.

The Sentinel

Here stands one of my loyal guards hard at work scanning the horizon for our enemies. He stretches his neck high over the garden, ready to sound the alarm should he spot that most wily, stealthy and destructive adversary of all time, the squirrel!
