The wind storm came and went. It rained so hard at times I could barely see to drive and the roads were covered with so much wind debris that it was quite dangerous. The power stayed on and I have woken to a beautiful clear skied morning. The sunrise will be (in a very literal sense) awesome!
While I was out collecting wood for my stove, I came across this little man. His name is Oakly. He lives in my wood pile.
To those who don't know, a cord of wood is measured 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet, and according to the Germans, it should be stacked loose enough for a mouse to enter but tight enough to stop a cat from following.
Oakly's packpack is empty. I wonder what he carries in it? I keep looking into the crevises between the logs to spy that mouse. I'll bet they are friends. Maybe Oakly collects seeds and nuts to feed the mouse. He looks kind.
One of my favorite paintings!
