Nature Watching
Some days are just meant for nature watching. Without so much as taking a drive in the country, I saw the following today
- A pair of young goldfinches defend their Nyjer seed against the common housefinches, who can't even figure out how to hang upside down to eat the seed
- Seymour the wandering cat play cat and mouse with a mouse. I watched the mouse stagger up the walk toward the house, and then collapse (as much as a mouse can) in the yard. Stamping of feet and sudden movements could budge not the mouse from its spot. I am pretty sure it was dead.
- Mookie's first ever hypoglycemic seizure. Pretty darn frightening. It ended with her foaming at the mouth. She spent the day at the vet gorging herself on their canned food (she has been refusing kibble all week).
- A bunny at school. S/he was pretty fearless. For a bunny.
I bet I won't see any of these things in New York City, where
Shermanilla and I plan to see Tarnation with
Deb Schwartz, Brian Geller, Esquire, and (possibly)
Liz Penn too. Pretty swoopy.
And then it is back to the grind. I am bringing some grind with me, too. The rain is trying to wash this all away. I may have to settle for snow.
