Squirrels – Created Recipe

Squirrel buries nuts and waits for decaying shells. The photos proved the story.
There are so many holes in our lawn.

There is none of the holes in our neighbor’s lawn.

Squirrel waits for my husband coming out to buy the newspaper every morning. Squirrel gets the nuts, and takes the nuts somewhere. Of course sometime they eat the nuts there. The snow has melted in March, and then, there are so many holes in our lawn. Squirrels buris the nuts and digs the nuts out during the winter time.
Shiho-san saw these lawns and said to us, you shouldn’t give nuts to feed squirrels, because you’ll have problems in your garden. She is right. Squirrels had always been a problem biting into tomatoes and cucumbers from the vegetable garden grown by my husband with great care. However, the squirrels are waiting for nuts with cute face and seem to be asking for the nuts with two hands (or front legs) together as if praying.
When God made animals He gave an important wisdom to live, for the squirrels burying the nuts and for other animals something different things. Mic-san told the story about the coarse tongue of cat family. Mic-san, please write about it. Thanks!
Please read the Bible verses – Matthew 6:25-26
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Do you know to whom these nests belong?
In the front of our apartment

At the back of our apartment

Don’t you think it seems like the birds’ nests? It is squirrels’ nests. My husband was standing by the front window one summer morning, and then, a squirrel was in and out of the nest. He thought the squirrel was taking the bird’s eggs out, but no, it was wrong. Squirrel picked the dead leaves and some little branches from the ground and took them up to the nest. Squirrel repeated these actions. So, my husband determined those are squirrels’ nests. There are so many.
