The Chase

The Chase Sitting by the window, Light snow coming down. Watching two brown and one grey. High above,from tree to tree. On wires nimble as can be. A game of tag,fluffy tails swishing, as they chase each other round and round. A minuscle sound will make them scurry to higher ground. Statue like they sit,still as can be. Till all perceived threats are gone. Then the game goes on. Anne Rutherford Copyright 2012

watching little animals and their antics ? very amusing ....Patches cat brought home a Kangaroo Rat, and set it free in the night, it was hopping around our bedroom, to our squeals of delight, so i shepherded it back to the doorway , back to the bush goodnight... xoxox Don Rat size marsupial that hops about like a Roo {kangaroo} Don

So cute to watch the animals out the window in winter. I know we still have so much snow and we had a storm again this morning. Spring feels a long way off. Last year the farmers had the crops planted and this year we still have 5 feet of snow to go. love phyl

They have to be squirrels, and they sort of hibernate at times but when they come out it's such fun to watch the energy. Enjoyed the game of tag!
