just details

The cherry blossoms are all pink and bursting, and the tent caterpillars are descending like little streamers en masse. In fragrant spots on the way to the library, I can hear the bees buzzing all together.
This morning outside my window I saw a squirrel and a crow in a little fighting match. The crow would sneak in, and the squirrel, poised like a sprinter, would lunge at it with abandon. Eventually it chased the crow back into a tree.

I just brought back all my library books. I unfolded the dog-eared pages but didn't erase my pencil marks.

Funny. I had a great squirrel episode. Dad caught one in a Hav-A-Heart trap and I released it in town near some maples behind the municipal building. It took off like I had shot it out of a gun, ran hell-bent-for-leather to a row of hedges quite a distance away, only to be chased and pecked at by a small black bird. It was a cartoon moment, for sure, and I laughed my head off before heading into the gym for aerobics.
