Happy New Year

raccoon

I slept through the New Year and woke up late.

Had a cup of coffee and then pulled on my hiking boots 

and over to Pool Wildlife Sanctuary for a walk.

The park was empty.

My foot steps crunched and squeaked through the snow,

accompanied by the songs of Juncos, Cardinals and Nuthatches.

I left small piles of sunflowers and chestnuts as I went along.

Welcoming in the New Year with gifts to those who may be hungry.

May 2013 bring health and happiness to all.
