Good morning, what took you so long to notice? Mr. Squirrel Pants has figured out the handle to the door, he is so smart. He comes in, checks out the fire place for possible new dwelling, checks out the toy box where the bag of peanuts is kept, and settles in.
A few of our late blooming peonies gathered before the rain takes them all the way down to the ground.
A few tiny ants along for the ride. I guess that one ant signaled her friends and opened most of our buds.
Not as robust as years past, thank you gardeners of insensitive skill...
Anyway, a nice bouquet, for anyone thinking that suicide might be a good idea. Understood.
But please allow your innate curiosity and good will to prevail, there is no next time.
You are loved. Thank you Mary !
Such a loss and a sad reckoning.
You are loved, all of you.

You are loved, all of you.

for Kate and Anthony and all others who have given up the effort.
Dammit.
I'm not sure I could tolerate Mr. Squirrel Pants. As for the rest, too, too sad.
ReplyDeleteMr. Pants is very congenial, and polite. He just wants to live his good little rodent life in comfort.
Deletegorgeous blooms. can't grow them here. too damn hot. as for those who opted out, they aren't gone, just gone from here.
ReplyDeleteGone from here, yep and somehow that is comforting.
DeleteI like what Ellen said. Not gone, just gone from here.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are exquisite. Your squirrel friend is such a cheerful little thing. I would love his visits.
Mr. Pants is very cheerful and funny and watched me so tenderly today...good day for tender!
DeleteSquirrel Pants comes from a long line of smarty pants fluff tails. I still enjoy the video I have of your jays and squirrels. My sympathy and support to those left behind.

ReplyDeleteYou have a very smart squirrel! And yes, I think maintaining the capacity to enjoy life's small moments of beauty is essential for everyone. Hard to do, sometimes, but essential.

ReplyDeleteSquirrels are so much more intelligent than we realise - remarkable. So sad for those who gave up.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. He is a smart one to know how to get inside.
