Hippo's friend Squeaky wrote to tell him about how she spends autumn in Michigan:
Squeaky enjoys reading about Hippo's adventures – they make her laugh and squeak.
She likes to garden and harvest grapes at the end of the season.
She turns apples into apple butter.
To send to all her friends.
When Squeaky makes cookies, she makes some little hippo sized ones.
She enjoys playing beautiful music.
And she likes to pet big kitties.
She's very handy, especially at fixing little parts.
Squeaky likes to go for drives through the countryside.
But she doesn't like having car problems. Where did we put the gas?
Have some apple pie, it'll make everything better.
Squeaky Loves Hippo.
It was a nice snowy day to enjoy Winter at the National Zoo.
Even big kitties, which normally are not fond of water, seemed to enjoy a bit of snow on the snout.
Squeaky checked on the progress of the elephant walk construction. Elephant-sized path: check. Big bath tub: check. Elephants: elephants? Where are they?
Humans outnumber the critters at the zoo today. Maybe the elephants are hiding. Or helping to plow the parking lots to make room for all the visitors.
She sees him! She seems him! Tai Shan!
Snow makes pandas hungry.
Eating can get tiring.
Time for a snooze in the snow.
And time for lunch. An apple sandwich and bamboo fries, please!
