Anyway, today's entry is about squirrels.


I rarely saw wild squirrels in Japan, but I find them everywhere in A2. They take on a yellow tinge compared to the squirrels I often saw in California.

Squirrels are scampering around, chasing each other, climbing a tree, looking for food, eating acorns, and digging a hole to store food. They are so lovely! When I read a book outside, I hear a scrunch sound: I wrench my head back and find a squirrel eating an acorn. Sometimes, I can't figure out where the sound comes from because the squirrel hides behind a tree ;)



The other day, I was walking on campus and heard a guy saying "oops!!" What I saw was the guy and a squirrel looking at each other :oops: It seemed the guy suddenly halted in astonishment because a squirrel jumped in front of him 8O (Sorry, I couldn't help laughing...)

I see squirrels all year long, even in winter. In winter, whenever squirrels walk on an icy branch of a tree, it creaks and groans...

Squirrels' small footprints are pretty, especially compared to mine →
