The Cat Who Came to Visit This Morning

At 5:54 this morning

I came out of the house singing

I noticed movement at the end of the driveway

A critter was slowly moving my way

~

As I watched the critter stopped moving

Then it sat down and watched me

Silently, patiently, until I was done singing

I couldn't get my camera up when he

or she quickly walked away. A photo wasn't to be

~

When I noticed it was a cat and not the blur

in the photo above, it made sense seeing her

or him walking down the neighbors road home.

I clearly had another idea of whom I saw on the roam.

~

Nature is so beautiful, the sun, the greening

up of the grass, and the trees leafing

Critters out and about. Birds singing

Sitting close and then they are flying

~

The sun was warm on my face today

It was 60 degrees for a short time yesterday

It will be nice today. Maybe a motorcycle ride

~

Depends on if it gets above 50. I will hide

if it doesn't as hubby's bottom is 40s.

He can ride without me. I prefer 50s

to 60s, but I'm most comfortable in the 70s.

~

Creator, thank you for keeping the deer

in the ditch, the birds in the air, and near

me, and the bugs where they belong.

This sounds like it could be a song.
