A few days ago, while at my desk, a little gray squirrel caught my attention. Facing the window, he looked at me for a long time. Standing upright on his haunches atop the old weathered playhouse, his presence made quite a spectacle. I watched and waved, feeling a little nutty. His rare behavior seemed an angel message from nature.
Our yard is bursting with activity...a busy season. Bushy tailed squirrels make cautious little leaps across the lawn. Busily at work gathering a harvest of acorns to stash away for winter. Little mouths somehow carry big brown nuts scurrying to find a safe place to dig. The mulch beds, yard, pasture...it's like preparation for an Easter egg hunt. Meanwhile, the bird feeders remain full, no squirrel acrobats swing from the rooftops eating seeds. There's work to be done.
Something wonderfully surprising happened just now while writing the blog. I wanted a photo of that little squirrel on the playhouse. Thoughts are things...but what a surprise to watch a little gray squirrel show up out of the blue. I ran for the camera.
A special delivery. The timing was amazing as only angels can do. Look at this little gray squirrel up on the playhouse...with a nut in his mouth! Ask and you shall receive... Seek and you shall find... Knock and it shall be opened...
The little fellow stood on high for a long time, tail flickering. Squirrel is about balance. Balance between work and play, giving and receiving. The old oak by the sunroom is a great provider. Acorns fall from the treetop pinging the roof in an abundant harvest. Nature speaks in a rhythm...for everything there is a season, but the good news is the angels are always present. They watch over us and guide us in all of our ways. Thank you God, for all the heavenly help!
Love and peace,
