Squirrely

Today wasn’t exactly what I’d call an exciting, or even particularly interesting day. Oh sure, somebody wrote a weird and nasty comment at the Kaleidotrope website, and then this evening I saw the squirrel in the backyard. It seemed to be having trouble getting out of the backyard, which is the only reason I bring it up. Either the squirrel was injured that I couldn’t see, or it was just too young to be skilled at climbing fences. (It was on the smallish side.) I had our dog with us in the backyard, so I had to make sure, at the very least, those two didn’t cross paths.

But, really, besides those two not very exciting things, nothing much happened today.

A pleasant enough Thursday

Today was a lot like yesterday, only without the rain…which, given that the rain was yesterday’s most defining feature, may not be saying a whole lot about this particular Thursday. But there you have it.

It was not at all rainy today — quite the opposite, in fact, with some lovely weather throughout most of the day. I had my lunch in a small public park I’d not noticed before, maybe because it’s not much more than a few benches and bushes in the courtyard of a building. Nothing special, but a pleasant enough Thursday.
