An actual creative day! Planting flowers. Wandering the Home Resource store for furniture ideas. Discovering new music. And an afternoon of cooking, with lunch packed for tomorrow and company for dinner in the backyard.
Pretty impressive since I spent about two hours being stalked by this same goddamned squirrel. I am held hostage in the house by this stupid thing – no fear of humans, deep desire to sneak into my house all of the time.
Dream on, buddy.
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a language and culture assistant through the Spanish government, traveling, and writing about it here. After a few years back in my home state of Montana, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I like to go exploring, take pictures of my food, write letters, dream of far-off places, and think about concepts of home.
I used to think squirrels were cute. But there’s one that lives in my backyard and it’s a devil creature. Like, throwing nuts at me when I’m in MY yard, type of devil.
By the way, I’ve been completely horrible on the comment front, but I LOVE and have been completely enjoying your 30 days of creativity so far :).
Aw, shucks. Thanks. I’ve got 25 days to go, so I think I’m going to need all of the encouragement I can get!
HYSTERICAL! That little bugger looks like he’s sitting there waiting for an invitation. “Well, helloooooo! I’m right here!” Your dinner looks way yummy too.
[…] that squirrel from yesterday? Well, he’s making himself known. This is what I woke up to this […]
Haha that damn squirrel. His stance is priceless…like, “whatchu lookin’ at?”
I’d also like to remind you that that is the squirrel that ran over my foot last fall…no fear of humans whatsoever. How does something like that deelop in such a normally skiddish creature?
I’m convinced that the people down the block feed them. They came to the garage sale and I so wanted to corner them and ask them. Instead I just gave them a look of disdain. I’m sure it communicated equally, right?
