Steve`s Country
For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
No Complaints. A Fun Poem.
Little chipmunk, never slow,
In my pocket, there you go.
Grab some peanuts and away,
To your home and back today.
Dawn till dusk you’re at it too,
Without a rest, this you do.
No complaints, just keep right on,
Working hard till day is gone.
Then it comes some sunny day,
When you really want to play.
Up and down my leg you run,
I pick you up, oh, such fun!
Then to work you start again,
But you never do complain.

Yes, it is a lot easier for my chipmunks. The chipmunks out in the wild must forage a long ways from home to gather enough food for the winter.
Thanks Ribana!😃😺🌞🐿🐿

Do you plant apple trees and Cherry trees where you live beside your house ?

My landlord has an apple tree here, there are a few varieties hardy enough to grow here, but they do grow more slowly. Cherries don’t work, except for mock cherries like the one my neighbor has.

Is this an orange mock tree ?

Looks like it, my landlord has one though it’s not doing so good, really too cold up here for them to do well.

I think the area id good for Cedars or Cypress trees …

Yes, cedars are one of our native trees, the eastern white cedar which is a smaller tree. Cypress would be hard to grow without a lot of special attention.

Could I ask you if you come from Eastern European descent or not ?

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if I’m getting better or not, this Covid-19 really knocked me down.
Muffin is doing fine though.
Hope you have a wonderful week!😀😺🌞
