Watching...

Dear Diary,

Emerson loves to sit by the back door and watch the birds and squirrels.  Sometimes Gaylord will come right up to the window and they almost touch noses!  Neither seem overly concerned about the other.  Mr Cardinal is coming every day now and has boldly ventured close to the door.  A pleasant diversion of Emerson and me.

This is a watchful week.  A storm is coming on Wednesday but things should be fine for my drive to Boston on Friday and the weather looks good for the Women's March on Saturday.  There is a great sense of anticipation and bottled up energy.   There is a sense to that the world is watching and like us, holding their breath.  It will feel good to just do something...to take some sort of action.
