Views from Raven's Nest: Daily Reminder # 487

I spent some time at the back door today, the first time in at least two weeks that I have done so. Put a little seed out and had a nice little chipmunk visit but no birds. They seem to be mostly gone. The woodchuck was around but managed to avoid my camera with great skill, which is too bad because he or she was obviously fixing a nest for winter and kept appearing at the back of the yard with mouths full of dead leaves, looking very cute. He or she then headed to the tree stump and disappeared with the leaves only to reappear a while later in the same routine. Woodchucks hibernate, so the time must be drawing near. Autumn has been pretty drab this year. There are some flowers in bloom and a little color, but not much. Oh - and my quince has fruit on it. Probably not edible, but still, I'm proud of my little bush for growing little quinces. I'll post those pictures tomorrow. Today we are going all chipmunk. I've missed the back door. Not looking forward to winter but such is life.

Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to connect my Spirit with the Creative Forces of the Universe and with their help, manifest lots of cool things, especially but not limited to MONEY... and lots of it.)
