Way up high in a gnarly oak tree, sits Royalton Jay, he has so much to do today!
Bouncing quickly from branch to branch, this is the way of the Scrub Jays dance.
Collecting and gathering is his cause, he will not have his kingdom to be at a loss.
So Royalton will spend the day finding seeds, insects, berries and acorns along his way.
King of the acorns he truly is, hunting and storing as many as he can find, placing them all in a golden line.
Oak leaves that fall from the many trees all standing tall, in Royalton’s kingdom of autumn colors which delight...will hide these golden acorns from sneaky, clever, thieves’ keen sight.
Royalton will hop quickly, scampering around, making sure that all his kingdoms bounty is safe and sound.
There is not one item that can’t be refound, when Royalton goes to retrieve these winter stores that lay beneath the leaves on the cold and snowy winter floors.
So as you prepare for the long winter to come, gathering and storing away Autumn’s gifts of the season…as with Royalton, may a harvest feast in your kingdom be one of the reasons.
Long live the King!
