picturesque

It really is awesomely beautiful out there. For some reason the enormous snowflakes didn't like concrete or packed roads. But they liked everything else :) So what we get is white covering everything!!!!!! Except for sidewalks, streets, alley. And the snow, it is just so fluffy I just wanted to make a snowball and hurl it at my car. Well the snow's intact, is much prettier before anything but small mammels scurry through it. Is so much fun, making friends with a squirrel. It takes freaking months, and probably won't work out, in any case, lol. Chirp Chirp!!!!!

Ya I guess it's sortof embaressing but I made a squirrel friend today. Not really a close friend as I realize he may get hit by a car tomarrow, but he's been living in that tree for a long time so he's probably not so dumb to run out in the street for no reason. I've caught it several times before. Well, the neighbors have a wood fence, and dude will run down the fence and just sit there and try to look cool, or it will just launch itself down the fence. The first time I saw it do that, it failed miserabally and just launched itself down and landed horribly. But it took off way past it's tree, past the house and my field of vision, came back and ran a little ways out, ran straight on at the house and when it got there it went UP. All the way to the raftors and then on the ceiling to the little hole...into my attic. Uh, may be worth an expidition sometime, to find what squirrel-dude is hiding in the raftors :)
Anyways he eventually comes out and runs back.

Dang sorry about the long paragraph. Today I came out and stepped up to balcony, and there was Mr. Squirrel, right down there, have no idea what he was doing, besides obviously obsorbed in what it was doing. So I lean out and it doesn't move so I'm like "chirp chirp" and ya it looks at me but doesn't right away run off, just sortof looks at me like "give me a break." So I go, "chirp chirp" and it looks at me and runs off...to the tree. I'm like, haha ya you still hear me, "chirp chirp". I look up to where'd you'd run if you were a squirrel and you were running for your life, and no squirrel. So I'm like, "chirp chirp". And I lean out, and look around the edge and there is squrrel chan. I'm like, "chirp chirp" and it responds, jumping out then squirreling over to the other side of the tree, where it found something in the ground worth digging up. I was like, sweet. I said, "chirp chirp" and it ran off and back up the tree, so I was like, "chirp chirp". It realized the absurdity of the situation, and ran back down the tree and back out to where it had just been before.

Chirp chirp@!!!!!!

gorgeous

Last night it had been windy and turning crappy for awhile, then there was this ruckus outside, figured it had just got really windy again or maybe was raining. Kinda a switch from an idealistic spring afternoon just a few short hours earlier, with the drop in temperature. But when I went outside, there were little hail stones, well they were either them or REALLY BIG SNOWFLAKES. And they were just pouring down, not too fast, just sortof dignifiantly propelling them into the ground, as fast as their not so palpable tangible bodies would allow given the conditions. I figured I may grab the broom and do a little preemptive sweeping but I'm glad I didn't. Sometime soon later the snow changed to really fine, yet really sprawled out...really fluffy, and just completely covered EVERYTHING. The lifeless trees, the cars driving by,
the evergreens over the way, are all just so utterly gorgeous right now, heh. Guess if you have to endure 3 months of winter a year may as well enjoy some of it. Besides, when spring hits, it really hits.

The squirrels are sure having fun this morning. Hopefully today is nice with lots of sunshine to melt this abomination away!!!!
