Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Spring means nature's babies

     I got over yesterday's vacation of slothfulness and got myself out of doors this morning.  I was rewarded by seeing two baby rattlesnakes on the sidewalk, half a mile apart.  They were just sunning themselves and seemed pretty sluggish although the temps were in the 70's.  They were only 6-8 inches long, but I kept my distance.  Surprisingly enough, they don't scare me too much anymore. (Knock on wood).
