Ground Squirrels

 Ground squirrels aim for salvation

beneath earth's permissive crust

My friend Karen and I walk around the football field at the school most mornings.

This is the time of year little ground squirrels like to burrow down for the winter.

Quite a few entrances can be seen at the edge of the field now.  One day we spied

a little guy kicking out dirt and popping up now and then.  We couldn't get a photo.
 I know they are rodents,

and cause many problems for people, but I couldn't help

but smile when  I saw him.

Just one of God's creatures.

Savor the Day!
