The Best Part of Waking Up

I found glistening squirrel guts smeared all over my concrete patio. I knew they were squirrel guts because…..well, let’s not get into that… Flies were buzzing in the morning sun and I could hear scratching, clawing, snuffling at the perimeter fences. Raccoons, skunks, possums I presumed and the feral cats from the neighbor’s houses. Shadows of hawks floated over the newly mown grass. Crows and ravens waited in the branches. I held the warm cup to my chest, inhaled deeply and smiled. After a moment, I closed the sliding glass door, turned, and refilled the cup with hot fresh Folgers.

Ah, There you are....I almost....and may yet....dedicate this to you Mr. Sharpe.
Definitely had you and Folgers in mind as I wrote it.
I Know you love your Folgers almost as much as me.

Indeed. Rotten varmints.

When I was a girl and New York was overrun by the critters, our governor, Rocky, (how's that for coincidence?) advocated running over them with your car as the only way to curtail the population. Far nicer to think of natural predators getting a meal.
