Channeling my inner squirrel...

Dear Diary,

Gaylord is acting completely bonkers lately.  He climbed up my French door and looked into the house.  He is posing in all sorts of comical ways and I had to show them today.  I added an extra photograph of the silly little boy.  He may just be sensing the changes in the weather and knowing time is short to prepare his warm bed for the winter and fatten up so he can withstand the cold temperatures.  There certainly is an urgency in his movements.

I feel that too, despite the recent warm days.  So much remains to be done but I will put it aside to go sit with my dear friend Dotty.  She is 94 and in poor health now after a lifetime of activity and non-stop doing.  Now, for her, it is just being.  Watching each day slowly slip away.  There is no sense of urgency in her now.  If later I could claim a life lived so well I would be truly blessed.
