On the Balcony
Nathan planted some lovely flowers.
The quality of the rains reminds me a bit of the Monsoons, except they were eagerly anticipated, coming at end of hot, dusty summers. Nothing quite like the gentle thunder of a monsoon in the mountains. A bank of clouds pouring down a green, wet hillside. The raging torrent of muddy waters pouring down rocky, mossy gorges. Sweet tea made with powdered milk at home.
Hello, flower.
Hello, squirrel.

Hello squirrel indeed! I'd love to give him a little ruffle behind the ears--he looks soft. Did you know the Wachsmuths used to have a pet squirrel? They fed it peanut butter.

i would not have guessed that squirrels eat peanut butter. i don't know my flowers very well, but the yellow one is lovely.

It makes sense that squirrels would eat peanut butter, though, no? Though peanuts are not really nuts. The yellow flower is a pansy, but I did not really want to say "Hello, pansy." It might be kind of weird :)
There are so many squirrels in our neighborhood and they are pretty darn cute.
