i am a squirrel

Hopeful, pen, 2006

snow so soft today, the squirrels have to swim across to stay afloat. today's magic: a quiet start, a blast of cold air, a sunken squirrel peering out from his hole in the snow. pjs, french toast, rest, and play.

update: final tally...30". not much rest when you have to move snow all day. alot of work but remembering that this much snow is not something you see very often. appreciating nature, feeling the cold, tryng to laugh at the rediculously helpless feeling i get when the giant plows go by and dump all that road slush at the bottom of my driveway.
