Missy

I have a chipmunk friend who visits me every morning for coffee. She scampers back and forth to the ground feeder in the woods, collecting the morsels that I’d left there today. As she returns with her pouches full of tasty morsels, I wonder what she does with all that food. She is too small to eat it all by herself.
She sits with me before she scurries back to the feeder. I imagine she is saying, “Thanks.” Such little joys in life! I have named her Missy.
Migrating Birds

Three merganser ducks were resting in the water in front of the beach today. They had been flying north from probably, Tennessee. They didn’t stay long but they sure were pretty. Then I heard a loon over in Mud Bay. Their call is so wonderful to hear at anytime but especially in the spring. And then, yes, another wonderful sign of spring, a hummer buzzed my head.
All three of these birds have migrated, traveling here. A couple of them will stay but the merganser will move on. I have written about migration many many times. There are so many elements of migration. I like to think of migration as a journey and compare it to the journey of life with all of its changes. Life is always changing, life never ends. Oh, my life and your life will, but the concept of life, beautiful, beautiful life just changes and doesn’t end. Isn’t that a glorious thought?
Anyway, the lake opened yesterday and we are the first to have our pier in the water and to christen the lake with a boat. Crisp air blowing through my hair, chilly – but hey it’s wonderful spring.

Prison is the beginning
Its release its magical end
Magical wondrous end.
