A sunny morning with a chilly temp of -16C
I completed errands before the storm.
Looking out the window I spied a creature
on the veranda railing, hhmmm,
too small for a resident squirrel
and too large for a deer mouse,
I opened the window sheers for a better look.
“Well, well, well, what are YOU doing
perched outside looking at me.” I said.
When she saw me mouthing words
she stood on hind legs and stared
as I rapped on the glass saying
“no no no, tis too early for you to be out and about,
go back to bed and I’ll see you in a couple of months.”
Shortly after she scurried down the trellis
and with one last look back she disappeared
to the safety under the veranda.
I sighed and shook my head feeling
she was making sure that her human
was still living in our home and a reminder
to buy peanuts when Chippie returns in spring.
