Low Hanging Balls

DO YOUR BALLS HANG LOW?
CAN YOU SWING THEM TO AND FRO?
CAN YOU TIE THEM IN A KNOT?
CAN YOU TIE THEM IN A BOW?
DO THEY MAKE A HOLLOW SOUND
WHEN YOU DRAG THEM ON THE GROUND?

Such low-hanging dogwood fruit has been both a boon and a bane to the intrepid squirrels this fall season. There was a bumper crop, thanks to the rather long and dry summer stretch that dogwoods love. It was a blessing to the squirrels, who climb their way onto the very edge of these tremulous branches, even when hanging dangerously over the pool, and then perch on their haunches, turning the fruit in their little paws and eating them like apples. It would be comical if it wasn’t so messy.
