A land in peace
A mother with luck on her side.
Though filled with worry,
Once she found a safe place to hide
All her worries will cease.
Once she found her den,
There was nothing to fear.
It would be perfect for her cub.
When it would come, she knew not when.
All she knew was that the time was near.
When the time was right,
A new spirit came into the world.
No foes would come to pick a fight,
So they could rest and relax.
Days passed by slowly
And the cubs’ curiosity grew.
As she looked for something new.
The days soon turned into months
As the day the mother dreaded came closer.
The cub was not of age
As the world was her stage.

How the Harvest Mouse Came to Suisun Bay
A long, long time ago there was a family of harvest mice. Mice are common, but these were unique – born to those who had lived in the salty, marshy bay for many generations, these mice ate and drank from the sea as well as the land and rivers. For generations, there were only the southern families, scattered along the marshes of Corte Madera and in the San Francisco Bay (U.S. Fish & Wildlife, 2013). One family, however, would undergo strife and conflict before reaching a whole new world. What became of them after is another tale entirely – but this is how their story begins.
