Last week was one of those that makes me just want to
stamp my feet & toss my toys out of the pram. Well—not at the same time, of
course, because if I were in a pram it would be hard to stamp my feet to any
good effect. Also—it would have to be a pretty big pram. Um.
Whatever. It was really…not my finest hour.
And I was still scuffing my metaphoric toe in the
dirt andpouting this morning, so I hauled my cranky, ungrateful ass out to
the Stevens Creek Reservoir to stomp around in nature. It makes a nice change
from the gym, or even the paved Stevens Creek Trail.
So imagine how chuffed I was to be graced by coming
across more wildlife than I’ve ever seen there: two bunnies hopping right
across my path (at different times), a hummingbird, a robin, a California blue
jay, a deer (first ever I've seen in this area), a raptor bird and some sort of
large-ish, sleek water-type bird (perched on a tree limb).
With each sighting I felt better and lighter.
So—huge shout-out for whoever sent those critters my
way. I take your point.
