morning

There was a crash on the balcony, a couple of harsh shrieks, I opened my eyes. A jay was there, looking around, then walked along the rail, I got up. I changed into some shorts and a t-shirt, turned back towards the balcony, where the jay was a squirrel now sat contentedly eating. I suspect one did not turn into the other, but it did surprise me.

Mother’s Day. That is today. A hallmark holiday to be sure, only it is for a good cause. So that is my day, a good part of it at least. Off to brunch at the traditional spot with the family.

I thank God for my mother, she truly is a wise woman and a blessing.
