Magical Gifts and Goodies: Nesting Moments

We experienced a lovely spring-like day, yesterday. It isn't spring, we are just entering winter. These lovely days are numbered. It will eventually snow! We will soon be experiencing blizzards and deep cold weather, but it was a lovely day. It was also a very good day to spend some of it nesting for winter. Just like animals in our area were doing. 

That morning, I looked out of the window to see a squirrel sitting perfectly on the woodpile. I watched it for a minute to see if I could figure out exactly what it was doing! It was digging in the woodpile and pulling out fine ribbons of bark. It was stuffing the long strips into its mouth. I was glued to the moment. It was fascinating to watch. It became a memory in a moment, too, as when I reached for my phone, it took off. 

I was elated that I experienced seeing the squirrel doing something interesting, yet also disappointed that I wasn't able to capture a picture of it. I have honestly been looking out the window, off and on, since it disappeared from view, hoping to recapture that moment in time. However, that moment is gone. It is a lovely memory for me to cherish. It is also a reminder to live in the moment. To treasure the moments we are in, because each moment moves past us, like the clouds in the sky. Yes, I take pictures and write about them, however the feelings that I have at that moment lead me to the next and the next and the next! I treasure them, but I can't relive them exactly like I did!

We split wood in preparation for the colder weather that we know is coming. Dan split, while I sorted through the logs to hand them to him. We split several loads of wood and stacked them on the woodpile within easy reach to fill the bins in the house.

I had noticed a particular piece of wood several times in the last few weeks. It makes me smile almost every time I see it. I love hearts, I always have. Interestingly, I had not taken a picture of it, until, I did. I didn't need to, as I knew it was still in the woodpile. It still is, at this moment in time, but eventually it too will burn, which is fine...

I will see, another heart in another piece of wood, a rock, or in a footprint in the snow, like the one Dan found recently. It was just after a snowfall that happened while we were treating Image, our black mare! This was in her pen made by her footprints! A lovely sign of healing that Dan shared with me.

I may have missed taking a picture of the squirrel, as it was gathering materials for its winter nest, but my angels sent this perfect image, through the Magic Glass of a squirrel! It appears to be gathering nesting materials, too!
