Reflections 5/27/2020: Somehow as I emerged from a dream where I was trying on a pale pink ski outfit, (not a good color on me!), my mind got stuck on the image of a stage. As in a set where a play takes place. (Your domain Ms. Brunk!) I realized my world has been reduced to this stage setting with a delightful cast of characters! Magnificent magpies in their perfectly tailored tuxedos! Strutting crows who are finally starting to trust my presence as they scavenge for food in our yard. (Hooray, trust happens!!!) A squirrel couple with obvious relationship problems as they squabble, wrassle, and scamper pell mell through the backdrop of trees and fence lines. Blue jays join the cast with their vigilant flair with a rush of breath-taking blue in the flash of their athletic wing show. There is an occasional cameo appearance of a golden furred fox who must have had an unsuccessful night of hunting to be reduced to entering my stage set. God, if I have be confined to such a small area, I am happy as a clam to be seated at this stage! Sooo alive! Sooo cute! Sooo animated! Thank You for even making this quarantine such a meaningful, fun production! I love my furry and feathered cast of quirky characters!
