Squirrel, Bird, AnimalDecember 7, 2008 5:19 pm

Movement whooshed into the arborvitae ahead of the red fox running into my back yard. I think they were probably the sparrows who’d been noshing on bird seed a few minutes earlier. I hadn’t seen any squirrels yet that day.

The fox wasn’t the only predator of the past week. I also spotted the hawk up in a tree. The best way for me to scare it away: make noise by throwing a corn cob against the garage.

Iggy and I have got to protect our squirrels and birds.

I don’t enjoy picking up my messes. Probably most people don’t. But they force themselves.

Sometimes I set my 15-minute timer to encourage myself to make a small dent in my paper piles. Fifteen minutes isn’t very long, is it?

Yet I’m easily distracted into doing other things. For example, picking up a newspaper clipping encourages me to surf over to the website discussed therein. I don’t know how to stop myself.
