Commence Furlough

Yawn. Good morning, world. Officially on furlough for the next week. Lots of chores, hikes and relaxing ahead. It’s all good. Hanging with my animals. Try to spot the blurry chipmunk.

Breakfast Is Served

The squirrels are often ready and waiting, peeking around the side of my catalpa tree, when I put out a fresh frisbee full of sunflower chips in the morning. They will come up to me and give me that look to guilt-trip me if I go a few days without giving them a refill. It's a peaceful co-existence and I greatly enjoy their playful presence. My dog even accepts that we share our yard with these critters.
