I work - mostly on Unwrapped Sky - in a library at the University. During the short daytime hours I glance out at an incline of trees and snow. Much of the time it's snowing. But today a little squirrel, it's winter coat grey, danced among the snow, popped his head up and down as it looked for food of some sort, darted to and fro happily. At one point it dived beneath the snow like a dolphin beneath water. At another it did a little pirouette against a tree. Why not?
