Togetherness

Mr Squirrel's Diary VIII

Oh, how my life has changed. I wake up at dawn and start chasing Lady Squirrel up and down the trees. We would stop for a quick bite occasionally. But it's mostly about chasing each other. I must admit that I sometimes need some minutes for myself and eat a nut. She can be so demanding and often wouldn't allow me to have some time for myself. Life can be so tiring. 

This is me eating a nut. 

This is Lady S. Isn't she a beauty?

Pentecost Love Story

A Pentecost Story

Pentecost. I really don't know what that means, but everyone seems to have a long weekend. Peonies are blossoming in the garden. The sun is shining, I am busy finding nuts. One day, while I am eating a big delicious nut on the table tennis table in my garden, I all of a sudden hear a noise. I haven't heard anything like that for a long time now. It's a short moan. I look up and then I see her. A beautiful red female squirrel is sitting on the wall. She is tiny, her fur is a little darker than mine and she has big beautiful eyes and long fluffy ears. She stares at me and moves her tail. I respond to her with a similar sound and I think: "Hell yeah, finally I can reproduce". So I start chasing her. I'm pretty sure she wants me. Normally I should be the one looking for a female, but I was too busy finding nuts this spring. I am a lucky guy. So off we go. We're chasing each other up and down the trees, jumping from tree to tree, waving our tails, calling each other. She's always next to me. She must be receptive to mating. So that's what we do. I immediately forget about the long lonely winter and my time alone on the walnut tree. Finally I can do what squirrels are supposed to do in spring. Is this the meaning of my life? I really have no time right now to answer that question. Lady S. keeps chasing me, she doesn't give me a break. We start playing early in the morning every day now, when everyone else is still sleeping and we won't stop until it gets dark. It's exhausting but right now I don't care. I enjoy the distraction. 

Spring and Nuts

Mr Squirrel's Diary VII

The walnut tree is so green now. Everything looks different in spring. I can finally hide in the tree, those fat pidgeons can't find me easily anymore. I like that. There is a lot of food around now. But to be honest I only eat nuts. They're delicious. They're my favourite food. I'm really happy now that it's finally warm. I really don't care that I'm alone. I just enjoy my nutty nut nuts. 

Relaxing

Mr Squirrel's Diary VI

What a nice sunny day. A perfect day to relax. After having eaten some delicious nuts, I decide to lie down on top of the walnut tree and sunbathe. It is so peaceful. There are no sounds, everyone seems to be far away. There are advantages of being alone.
Suddenly I can hear the flap of wings. Within seconds two fat ugly pidgeons are landing on my tree just next to me. Oh, how they frighten me. I really hate pidgeons. They are loud and they keep annoying me all the time. I get angry and chase them away. My day is ruined. Sometimes I wish there was someone to help me scare those stupid birds off.

Boredom

Mr Squirrel's Diary V

I am bored. I am so bored and annoyed. Spring is there, I have a lot of food. But now all the human beings are leaving their houses and keep disturbing me. I now prefer being in the garden early in the morning when everyone else is still sleeping. It seems that everyone else has friends but me. Even those ugly pidgeons are never on their own. How come they get to find someone and I don't? I don't think that I'm that ugly. Maybe I gained a little weight. But that's sexy for squirrels, isn't it? Maybe I'm too selfish. I should consider sharing all the nutty nut nuts with someone else. I tried to befriend a bird. It didn't work out though. I really need to find someone! That's what I don't like about spring, there is all this pressure. No one was expecting anything in winter...! 
Sometimes I even forget about eating and try to get to know my surroundings. My squirrel girl must be somewhere out there!

Spring is coming

Mr Squirrel's Diary IV

It's April and finally spring is coming. I must admit I'm a little confused. The human beings keep saying "Winter is coming". I really doubt their brain power sometimes. It's getting warmer here. The trees are blossoming. Even my walnut tree looks nicer now. It's a little hard to find nuts these days, because the humans keep doing some gardening and throw the nuts away. Most of the squirrels in my city have already found a mate. All they do is chasing each other now. I feel lonely. There doesn't seem to be any female around. I'm still happy to have all the food for myself. But time is running out. I really want to find a nice squirrel girl. 

Lonely Days

Mr Squirrel's Diary III

It's March. My relatives from regions far to the South are enjoying spring. But the place where I live is weird. It's still winter. The raining won't stop. Even the human beings are complaining about it.That I don't understand. They have such nice tree houses. 
So I try to find as many nuts as possible. I have to eat a lot. Maybe spring is coming next month. That means that I have to find a squirrel girl. To be honest, I'm sick of being lonely. I hate sharing food ,but I must admit that there are some advantages having friends. I never get to play games or chase other squirrels up and down the trees. I feel sad. And it never stops raining. 

Rain and Cold

Mr Squirrel's Diary II

It's winter. Winter isn't easy when you're a squirrel. It's so cold, it's always dark and there isn't much to eat. Don't get me wrong, I really love nuts. But it can be a bit boring after so many months of eating only nuts. It's February now. It isn't snowing anymore. But the rain is worse. I get so wet all the time. It is no fun. The human beings are sitting inside (as always) watching me and drinking some weird beverages. It's definitely not water. After a while they get louder. It's so annoying. Can't they just let me eat my nuts? 

Cold Winter

Mr Squirrel's Diary I

Hello! I'm Mr Squirrel, it's January 2016 and I've just moved to a new home. It's a nice garden in a nice green city. The city centre isn't that far, but the garden is perfect for me. It is peaceful, all those human beings mostly stay inside. There is a big walnut tree in the middle of the garden. And there are no other squirrels. So I have all the nutty nut nuts for myself. I love eating nuts all day long. So this is perfect. I even found my favourite spot on the walnut tree to sit on and enjoy all the nuts. 

When I came here in January, it was snowing most of the time. It was quite cold...I needed a lot of energy, so I had to eat even more nuts. 

On the picture you can see me eating a nut.
