Saturday Morning

Arlo in the morning, originally uploaded by imustwrite.

This morning I sipped coffee at the end of the pier while Arlo and Darcy frolicked and chased birds up and down. It was hard to believe that just four days ago the bench where I sat was covered in a foot of snow and the creek was frozen. When I came back inside there were two small birds in the kitchen. I restrained the dogs while the birds found their way out through the door I'd left open. The old folks said birds in a house is a bad sign. Maybe it's just a reminder that life intrudes when where we don't expect it
