The clouds aren’t smiling

this morning, but also they

are not shedding tears.

It looks like it’s going to

be a real blah kind of day.

After I goofed up

several times in a row, I took

myself aside for

some words of encouragement 

and some much needed rest.

JDG

Minutes pass before

Knox notices the squirrel.

Then the chase begins

as the indoor cats critique

his every move and technique.

JDG

Small, baby rabbit,

you made a good choice when you

decided not to cross

 the road. I can assure you,

 things aren’t better over there.

JDG

An unfamiliar

peace visited her and she 

had the sense to ask

it to linger and to think,

perhaps, about moving in.

JDG

With plenty of room

to eat standing up, a young

squirrel prefers to

dine upside down, thus taunting

the cats watching through the glass.

JDG

These rainy days aren’t

meant for dancing even if

you’re the dancing kind.

Let’s wait for the storm to pass

then dance shoeless in the grass.

JDG

More often than not,

I’m the oldest in the room.

I try hard to look

   patient and wise, but they look 

  surprised that  I’m still alive.

JDG

There’s plenty of food,

but the jays apparently

are in a bad mood 

and causing a flurry of

winged fight at the bird feeder.

JDG

It wasn’t too long,

just a few seconds really,

 that that wee, yellow

bird dined before those blue jays

arrived and chased her away
