Little hopalong just passed by my window and reminded me once again why I throw apple cores and bread crumbs out underneath those scraggly dirty bushes (lol, nothing political here) and even though he is just a dinghy grey squirrel the creator of planet Earth loves him too, (maybe even more than some other two leggeds) and then the birds fly down from those noisey overhead utility wires (the ones I curse daily except when I remember where my internet connection comes from) and by the end of the day there will be no more unsightly crumbs left to decay or rot or pollute the scenery unlike the plastic and non-biodegradable over-packaged-over-rated-over-the-edge-goods that must be piled up alongside the road each Tuesday for a big noisey truck to take them away from everyone's neighborly window view whew and all this verbiage and wordage, just from looking out the living room window on a Sunday afternoon in sub urb yee haw (betcha thought it was goin to be an easter bunny write  have to wait another month for that one) |

Ah Kacy.. I feed my little squirrel friend every noon hour. He comes and waits for his peanuts on the back porch. I swear one day he may run right into the house. Then the birds have the crumbs from the toaster.. Can't wait till the snow is gone and I can watch nature from my garden! Hugs~Nancy ~ The most beautiful poem ever written.. |

Glad you got a chuckle, Julie. Nancy, one of those little rascals used to come inside my cabin in Alaska all the time, caused me beaucoup problems. |

Ah, sweetheart... We...have "Shortaile" and we are not quite sure why he has a "short-tail" but we have also noted with field glasses that he has a scarred ear, and seems to be the "daddy" of the pack. He jumps, they run... A few years ago, we had a "silverback" squirrel in our backyard. [We are infamous for feeding anyone who comes by...] and old SB hasn't been seen for the last two seasons so I am sure he lost his footing along the way of wires and such... I liked this, Kacy...and I think poetry in all of its forms needs to encompass all of life's forms. So, my thanks, lady....on a smile, and a place.  |

Yes, Jaime, LOL. Unless you manage to get them to land right underneath that old tree outside. Better to set them out in a bird feeder, from which squirrels are famous for stealing treats. Good luck on your tests tomorrow, thanks for that email! |
