Lining My Treasure Chest

An easy day watching nature yearning for material to write and then... I fed a squirrel today At first it was fun he captured the almond in his paws and ate with gusto to my applause. I placed another nearer, bravely he snaked toward it plucking it up quick and sure. Then, the problem began. A second squirrel wanted roasted almonds he wavered toward my pet. They raced around in circles one hoping to keep; one hoping to get. Suddenly, both stood before me as though begging to be fed Too close for comfort I thought Nearly jumping off the bench, I sprinted down Bull Run. How lovely I reminisced to be given such insight such delicious words to write as I watched nature in delight.
