Blooming In Winter


Sleep eludes me

as the darkness lingers

invading my thoughts

like black ice.


The silence disturbs

as the night stops

allowing the darkness

like a shroud


I yearn for morning

when sunrise awakens

and my thoughts are refreshed

like a white magnolia

This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
