i ran into this big guy while out shopping
he was waiting patiently for his front seat driver to return.

snacks.
one of the bonuses of being a kindy teacher
is that i always have a snack at the ready
should anything happen along my way home.

up all night.
a glimpse into the real story behind the legend.
the groundhog
stays up all night
trying to calculate
exactly when spring will arrive
and is exhausted
when they wake him up
to bring him out
early in the morning
for his official prediction
each february 2nd
on groundhog day.

bread.
when out for a night
at a wonderful irish pub
with warm company, warm food, and a warm fireplace
we decided to make the crazy leap
to ask for bread
and were looking forward
to a warm basket overflowing
with fresh, crusty bread
image our surprise
when a single 6-inch slice of soda bread
arrived on tiny plate
to be shared between us
we stared at it for a minute
looked at each other
and amazingly
we were able to eat the whole thing.

the works.
before i left the salon
i booked my next appointment
after discussing what services
i’d be interested in
as i walked back to my car
i read the receptionist’s summary
of what i’d requested
stated in two words:
“the works”
i had better plan to be there for a while.

copycats.
my daughter’s two cats
copy her two art cats
all four posed and looking out her window
perhaps watching for two birds
who might be copying two art birds.

heavy.
helped my daughter
to pull a dollhouse kit down from the store shelf above
quite surprised to find
how heavy it actually was
just before it crowned me
more surprised than anything
all was well
but as we picked it up
with an alarmed store employee
i happened to notice
a little sticker on the underside that said
‘heavy’
too little, too late. too heavy.
