Duchess of Weaselskin

For the past few weeks we have been awaken by the "Kaplunk" of pine cones being harvested from the tall pines here in southwest Colorado. You ask, "Who harvests the pine cones?" The answer, "The squirrels!"

Each morning just before dawn you do not need an alarm clock if that is when you need to arise! The squirrels harvesting the pine cones will be your alarm clock as they toss the cones down from the tall pines and the cones "kaplunk" in the pickup truck parked beneath.

I was wondering where the squirrels stored all those harvested cones until a few days ago when we found these pile of cones gathered to the edge of the creek. Are the squirrels soften, washing the cones for later storage to another place?

We hear that Oklahoma got some much needed rain this last week, but was it enough to fill the small stock ponds and replace the lost moisture in the fields and pastures?

How's the rodeo going in your neck of the Woods? Don't forget Freedom's Old Cowhand and Rodeo this coming weekend!
