Sitting inside in the warm
looking out of the window
as the sun is shining bright
but it is cold, very cold.
Watching the dog move around
as he tries to find a spot
in the sun to warm his bones
so he can sleep.
Aware of the birds
who are squabbling on the feeders
along with a squirrel
who steals the sunflower seeds.
Even a pair of rats
from under the small stream close by
braving the hazards of daylight
are picking over the dropped seeds.
The other small dog rushes out
and barks at the squirrel
who chatters back at the dog
and then jumps into the tree.
The rats disappear into the rocks
to the safety of their nest
away from the dog
who is not much bigger than themselves.
Even though the sun is shining
it is too cold to stay outside
so I view the world
through my window.
This is Texas
and tomorrow
when the sun shines
it will be warm.
Very nice! A beautiful day shared with our wildlife friends…
Thanks Beth. It’s fun to watch them.
Very touching 🙂 It is beautiful how you have described the happenings outside in the world of animals 🙂
Animals have always been a big part of my life, both wild and domesticated. We share their world. Thanks for commenting.
That is great!
Hi I came across your blog, as we are planning a pond in our garden here in the UK and have enjoyed reading about yours. But I also enjoyed your poems and photos, thanks for sharing, Lynne 🙂
