The squirrels, I mean. The White Oak in the deck is dropping its leaves and acorns by the hundreds each day. The family of squirrels that lives in the Elm tree at the southern edge of our property has been frolicking on the deck every day, gathering acorns, chasing one another around the deck, and generally doing what needs to be done in preparation for winter. They look well nourished. This one, in particular looks plump.
