National Squirrel Appreciation Day

I’m home this morning.
It was National Squirrel Appreciation Day yesterday.
My person has knit me a new hat to replace my lost one.
Most people have ear flaps on their hats. I have cheek flaps on mine.
I need to have my ears out to be alert for danger.
This hat ties on. Less chance of losing it.
Yesterday afternoon I wasn’t home.
My friends came over bearing gifts for me for National Squirrel Appreciation Day.
I thought everyone had forgotten what day it was except my person.
I was just about scared out of my skin when they yelled SURPRISE!
It startled me so bad I threw my arms up in the air and almost fell over.
Such nice gifts from such nice friends.
I won’t have to crack those hard black walnuts for a while.
We all had to pose for a picture.
I’ll never forget this day.
THANKS EVERYONE!

Friends help

ACorn’s friend Peter hitched the horse up to his cart.
He and friend Gator had a plan to help Acorn.
The Winter supply of nuts ACorn had gathered would take a lot of cracking with his teeth.
Peter and Gator planned to make the cracking of nuts easier.
They would bring home the perfect nut cracker.
The nut cracker was hooked to Peter’s cart.
Off to ACorn’s house they headed.
Acorn’s gives the nut cracker a try.
It works.
That was one good acorn. Now it will be so much easier for me
to eat over the Winter.
