Life That Surrounds Us

Saturday's Critters

You never have to travel too far for a critter sighting.

Here piggy, piggy.

"Only by going alone in silence, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.  All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter." - John Muir

Life That Surrounds You

is something, we all can count on.

Invitation:

"If you are a dreamer, come in.

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer

If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire,

For we have some flax golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come in!"

Shel Silverstein

Showing off-

"Nope, this is, the real me! Bark! Bark!"

Good morning Francis.

Happy Elliott!

"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." - John Muir

Sniffing, lots of bunny tracks all over, and a few deer tracks as well.  Misty, misses nothing.

Yep, our driveway is getting a bit snowy! Finally.

Funny thing about these trees, (I often recall back in the early 90's when we dug the holes) they were wee little babes then.  We placed them ever gently into the waiting earth.  Amazing what a couple of decades can do for their growth.

The incredible stories they could share!

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."

John Muir

Ah yes, let winter rule for just a short while, hopefully.  The deep freeze has arrived.

Enjoy your weekend and your warmth!
