Remember that song???? Wild THANNNG... you make my heart SANNNNNG... you make, EVERYTHING..... groovey!
Bluebirds, and coyotes, and MUSKRATS, ..... oh my!
Funny, but it's true! Wild things DO make my heart sing.
On the way home from ZUMBA (you goatta' try it), flash of blue as the bluebird rockets to the wire! My heart sings....
On a different day, the way home, opposum wigggle-waggles along the culvert. My heart sings....
I sit grading papers.... a flash of red catches my eye in the right corner. CARDINAL... ahhhhhhhhhhh! Where's his lady? Oh, over there! Right there! My heart sings...
The most recent wild thing is the muskrat. Yep, I am trimming apple tree suckers (do you know how much effort goes into bringing you YOUR apples????), a swirl..... a hairy swirl over there in the 'crick' (really, its a drainage ditch!).... let's look. OMG, it's a muskrat! Chewing up some yummy deliciosious green things that made it through the winter. OMG... I have never seen a muskrat before! And now here is one living in our 'crick'. Once more, my heart sings....
In this time of chaos and violence and craziness, just the sight of wildlife makes my heart soar. What might I see tomorrow??
