I’ve been writing this blog for several years now. As we get deeper into autumn, I always look to the change of seasons. Yet, I’m learning more than the colored leaves falling from the branches. The other day I was sitting on the bench in front of the Jesus statue just off the parking lot. Nice time for a few moments to reflect at the end of a busy day.
I heard a noise. Something fell from the tree. Then another “plunk” and something hit close by. Again, this time it bounced off me. Close to rapid fire for a few moments. A squirrel hard at work dropping acorns from the Oak above my head.
Stopped back there just now, a few days after the barrage from the tree. Found a lot of tops, but nothing more. Seems they’ve been collecting the rest of the acorns for the winter. Wondering if the squirrels and chipmunks are getting ready for a cold season ahead?
