This little squirrel had a busy morning ...
I just happened to look out the living room window ...
and found it scurrying around ... gathering fir cones to store for the winter ...
but ...
what I also saw ... was ... that it was heading to the truck ...
and climbing up underneath and storing them ... not exactly sure where ... !!!
When I informed Mike what was going on ...
he came and checked it out ...
Hoping the squirrel was scared away ...
so it will not continue to try and store the fir cones there ....
This squirrel ... and I am sure a few of his friends ...
were making quite a mess on the lawn ...
I wanted to cut the grass one last time for the year ...
but decided to rake up the fir cones first ...
Pulling out the rake and my wheelbarrow ...
working away raking ... and hauling the fir cones away.
I was grateful for the new lightweight wheelbarrow ...
compared to the old one ...
that at one time belonged to Gus and Margrit Haase ...
They had given it to mom and dad ...
when they had moved from the neighbourhood into town.
Another treasure from the past ...
that I am grateful to have in my yard now ... !!!
Love this post..I can see why you wanted to rake all those cones up. A few pumpkins in that great old wheelbarrow would be a good touch. Any left in your garden? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving weekend
Busy little squirrel ----- and yes your wheelbarrow is definitely better to work with . Don't work to hard , there is a turkey ready to be cooked and Joe and I will help eating it . Looking forward to seeing some of the family home .
