Critters

I always like to stay outdoor, even when I was younger, I would read outdoor and bring my homework to finish at the balcony where wind could blow through my hair, but mom did not like that idea, one time my paper was blown away from the 10th floor! And she said I was not focus enough when there are other things going on outside the balcony. Perhaps she was right, I like to look out and see what is going on outside my own little box (apartment), like a bird looking out from its cage.

Having to maintain a garden, it is a lot of work but it is what I enjoy doing. I don't do well in cleaning as far as housework is concerned, but I do cook very well and I enjoy doing garden work, hey you can't be good at everything --- that's what I told Victor, so we'd have cleaning ladies to come clean the house. ^_^

Lately we found this newcomer, a young squirrel; we named him Bill. I guess Bill is young base on the fur on his tail, it is fluffy and small though. We spotted him last week, while we were having a drink outside, sitting on the sofa, Bill went from the left side of the garden to the right, grab a piece of coconut fiber fallen from the trees and walk right in front of us back to his home on the left side of the garden. We freeze on the sofa so he won't be scared, there he walked 3 steps; stop and look around then go another 3 steps; stop and look around again.... until he reached to his home.

On the top of a Queen's Palm, there is pocket left over after we trimmed the big font. There we saw Bill laid down his pillow (the coconut fiber he just picked up from the other side), turn around to find a comfortable angle then lying down facing out. What I mean facing out is the tree has 360 degree angle, but Bill chooses a premium lot with water and golf view, I thought it is a common choice for golfers, did not know squirrel prefers it too.

We saw Bill again last night, when we were sitting out after dinner, he ventured to the right side to collect his bedding again, we freeze with a smile when he walked right in front of us. I guess the constant rain must have ruin his bed.

I remember, I remember a scripture about how God provides, he provides food for the bird even their lives is short; he dresses the flowers even the beauty only last a few days; why won't he knows what we need and provides abundantly?! Look around, resources are all around us and God has provided, it is our responsibility to find what is right for us and which pillow sleeps better! Bill said.
