Today i stood upon the landing atop of the stairs looking out of our tiny window, and after counting 20 or so cars speeding up and down the St Faiths road i spied Hammy flicking his tail upon the tree just beyond our nut tree that stands in the first tree line in the wooded area that is our part of fiddle wood. Now it must be mentioned here and now that all the grey squirrels are Hammy's to me,and i often write of their adventures throughout the years as they roll out their days of each and every months cycle. As i near my 75th year of my expectation of gaining more insight upon many a thing, i tend to name such wildlife wonders that i see near and far in such a wonderful way. After all concerning all the Hammy's that pass my window throughout my day i would get rather confused trying hard to remember each ones name, would i not? But i do remember one that was so aged he had a very faint wisp of a flicking grey tail.It was him alone that stole the coconut liner to our raised flower baskets in the front of our little house in order to construct his. And in that brave attempt of his,i grudged him not a single thing that he in turn rolled up in his endeavour to keep snug and warm. Yes he himself having been gone for many a year now, is often in my thoughts as his offspring dance and flick their own days display in sight of my window, a well earned place where i type so in my own remembrance as each day slowly unfolds in such a sweet thoughtful way.
May you one and all stay safe,
and in doing so stay well. BB
