Making It Up As I Go Along #493


The Red Squirrel’s Home
Walking through the red squirrel’s home
Snow crunching
He watches
From a tree perch
Unaware I often watch him
From my window perch

Rabbit tracks bound
Off the main trail
Crossing it
Leaping into the forest
Away from prying eyes

Dog tracks explore
Sharing the human trail
Veering off
A spot to sniff before moving on

My tracks pioneer
Starting a new path
A good photo angle found

No squirrel tracks exist
He bounds lightly

This is the red squirrel’s home


THURSDAY…
--- Work is pretty busy.  Home is relaxing… just pull in to the garage, grab some cereal for a breakfast supper, and watch some TV.
--- Sad to hear of Sarah Burke dying.  Skier on top of the world and then just gone.
--- Dad e-mails me a poem I wrote while in grade 3.  Have no memory of it but enjoy it all the same.  I wasn’t half bad back then.

FRIDAY…
--- Busy day at work.
--- Bank, supper from Farm Boy, gas station all happen on the way home from work.
--- Some TV in the evening… up late to get ready for nights.

SATURDAY…
--- Physio… nap… night shift.  Wendy’s for supper and a pretty quiet night.

SUNDAY…
--- Organize my iTunes some with the TV on after I get up.  Got a little tickle in the throat… better not be getting sick.
--- Work is not busy and feels pretty long.

MONDAY…
--- Up earlier than I should… about 10:30 gives me less than 4 hours sleep.
--- Clean up the computer room and watch some TV. 

TUESDAY…
--- Furniture is here.  Sofa and love seat in the basement… a new coffee table in the living room.  Feels good having it all here now.  Also, with this, I have the IKEA chair up in my room… little spot to sit and read or work on the laptop.

WEDNESDAY…
--- Physio… groceries after that… post office to follow.
--- Once home and groceries put away, a sandwich is followed by a half hour walking through the woods.  Meet a neighbour there who has lived in the area for 47 years… he seems a little afraid of how far the development will go.
