For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
I thought of this poem while watching my squirrel digging through the snow. With so little snow it’s easy to see where he goes as he digs his tunnels, since they are not quite hidden from view. And this took place on one of our coldest days.
Running, playing in the snow,
How he does it I don’t know.
There he digs his tunnel now,
Moving fast, just like a plow.
Soon up pops his little head,
Should be brown, he’s white instead.
Little squirrel having fun,
Every day he likes to run.
With little snow I can see
Him digging fast, wild and free.
There he goes, now turns around,
The fun he has does abound.
It’s hard to know why he would
Come play outside, when he could
Stay nice and warm in his home,
Yet, in cold, he likes to roam.
Down again, he digs through snow,
Having fun, look at him go!

Great poem ! Perfect depiction of a squirrel …my squirrels usually make tunnels too, but not this year…not enough snow…maybe in times ahead…

My squirrel is still making tunnels even though the collapse on him. It’s fun watching him tunnel through the snow. Thanks so much!

It was fun to watch that little squirrel trying to make his tunnels, the snow just wasn’t deep enough so it was easy to see him traveling under the snow. Thanks Jessica!
