What Is That

The sun has decided to visit.

How that just makes the day.

I live in the woods.

Dark in the Winter.

Wet from the rain.

Green from the trees and moss.

Yes, I said moss.

Down my driveway and into the woods.

I love it here. Most times.

Only when it's yucky wet and dark, nope.

So, today with yellow stuff visiting,

it makes me think,

that Spring might come back.

It is amazing here

in the Spring and Summer.

Most of the early Fall days too.

It's just the green slimy walkways

that make an old lady trip

and the lawn that looks terrible

due to moss and the feet

that sink into it

if you don't look where 

you are walking.

Like I said, the sun is out.

Brings me hope.

I still won't be going out

there though but soon.

Mew At You Later,

My Woods

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
It's a quiet morning.
A few birds singing to my cats
but other than that, it's quiet.

Makes me think about my love of these woods.
My home is set down a long driveway.
Trees surround me on three sides.
It's like my own wooded area
set inside a sort of crowded neighborhood.

I find myself staying home a lot.
If I don't need to go out,
why leave this peace.

Even in the colder months,
this place is still a calm in the storm that is my life.
When it's warm, oh the woods come alive.
Not that they aren't always
but the movement is more noticeable.
Birds, butterfly's, owls, coyotes, deer.
They all make noise and visit my woods.

Only today, while it's quiet,
I think of the wonder of nature.
My love for it.
I have always enjoyed a walk or stroll,
as I have never walked fast.
Always stepping slowly while taking in
all the goodness that is around me.

If I could, I'd probably live in my woods
forever and only come out into the noise
when I absolutely had to.

Oh, that's what I do now.

Enjoy your quiet and peace
where ever you find it.

Bubbles In The Sun

Spring has finally arrived in my part of the woods.

The sun is out. The rain is gone.

The green moss is everywhere but that's normal.

I am surrounded by the birds singing.

At night, beyond my fence and in the woods,

the frogs are singing all night long.

This happens every year.

Won't last too long but for now,

it's very nice to hear.

We had a lot of snow last month.

Everyone is saying what a warm Winter it was.

Not for me. It was very cold and snowy.

In the last two weeks, we got snow five times.

Crazy I tell you. Just nuts.

So today, while the sun got lost, I will enjoy it.

Still too cold to go out back but so nice to see.

My cat, Riley, is watching bird tv.

He does know how to enjoy a bubble bath in the sun.

I think he dreams of it during those colder months.

Anyway, Spring has arrived.

And, today is a good day here in the woods.
