A River of Stones: Day 26

Unrelenting rain all day threatens to dampen my spirits. Cabin fever defines my mood. I threaten to complain, but words fall on deaf ears. Besides, I get a lot of studying done on days like this. Periodically my furry friend comes to my window, scratches around to get my attention, and then we flirt back and forth for a bit. After a while he leaves and I get back to my studies. Sigh. . .

  1. Your squirrel friend is brave, probably because he doesn’t feel afraid of you. The way he comes to check up on you is so sweet and makes a nice little break from your studies.

    • Yes, it is a nice break. And I can keep my watch set by him, too. He comes to see me at 9:30am ever morning, like clockwork, stays for 15 or 20 minutes and then scampers away until the next day. Really cute.

      • That’s amazing, Cecelia.

        • Thanks Barbara. That little fella has become my buddy during these foul weather days. Glad you like the photo.

  2. Aww. Looks like a good day to be inside though =P

    • Thanks for stopping by Cafe23. I appreciate it. And yes, it was indeed a good day to be inside. :-)

  3. isn’t it great to connect with the urban wildlife :)
    Hang in there … soon Spring will be upon us!

    • Yes, I love the wildlife that appears to always be there, if we take time to notice. And Spring will be welcome whenever it comes! my favorite season of the year. ;-)

  4. I love this picture… ;-)

    • Thanks Elizabeth. :-)

  5. Awww, love those Fox Squirrels! I would need some true motivation to do the studying that you are doing Cecelia. I think I would do so much better at school now that I have grown up and know what I want to be at 60 :)

    • Yes, the squirrels are a delight to watch when I am shut in due to weather. As to school, I love the subjects I’m studying, and I have a definite goal in sight. . . BUT I can’t stand the pressure and time that it takes from other things that I find so enjoyable. It’s a mixed bag.

  6. Love your furry friend…so neat that he is your clock stating it is time for a break to breathe and be glad you are dry inside….and studying!

    • :-) Yes. He/they do provide a bit of a break for me, especially on these frequent cold, wet days.

  7. Aw, he’s checking up on you…even in the rain. Margie

    • Yeah, he’s here every day. Actually I think I have two squirrels visiting me. There is enough difference in behavior, and a bit of a difference in the face (after a while you start to notice those things!) that I’m beginning to think that two squirrels are taking turns with the suet!

  8. a gentle reminder that you are never alone.

    • Yes indeed. This little furry creature has become quite a friend. I’ve gotten to where I look for his/her arrival every morning. Sweet.

  9. what a fun picture, and great capture! love that little guy/gal :)

    • Yup! S/he is a cutie. Comes by everyday at 9:30am like clockwork.

  10. A curious little one…

    • Yes–s/he comes by every day.

  11. The rain cleanses both the world and our souls – it brings new ideas. Good luck with your work :-)

    • You are right. It is good to be reminded of that. Thanks for your well wishes, and for stopping by! :-)
