There are two chipmunks that stay close to the house. Stubby has a short tail and Flash is fast as lightning. They both were on the deck this morning gathering acorns which constantly fall from the giant oak above. This is what I have referred to as the Magic Tree in past posts.
This gorgeous tree has its roots in the septic lines so it has grown three times as fast as its neighbors. It seems to be leaning over the house now. I will stop there.
Anyway, the acorns are plentiful and noisy. You cannot sit outside without threat of a ping to the head. Many times they bounce and hit the glass doors. This bounty is a boon for my tiny friends who stuff their jaws full and run to stash their booty.
This is what goes on here as the planes and helicopters fly overhead to help victims of Helene.
Friends around me and helpers overhead.
Life is good.

The water looks muddy. Is it still high? Chipmunks have not made it to my part of the South, but I hear our armadillos are heading north.

Armadillos are fascinating but I have heard they are destructive…like ground hogs. The lake has been lowered using the dam. Still muddy with debris floating.

The chippies scurrying here and there drive my dog a bit nuts, but they don’t mind her at all. Your river still looks high… glad to see your dock held. Is it a floating one or just well built?
