Burrow House

company

I had an uninvited visitor today.

At first I thought I was imagining things as he scurried across my kitchen floor.  He was t.i.n.y.

I thought for sure I was going to squash him as I was trying to save him.  Really.  I had our big overstuffed chair balancing on 1 leg as I was trying to lure him out into the open.  I just KNEW it was going to land on him. (ick)

I was hard not to keep him.  Just for a little while.  But I knew he'd be happier out by our fountain, frolicking in the fern fronds.  Hope to see you again soon little buddy...outside.

a wee little challenge

A friend sent me a link to this blog today. (tip: look at the video LAST...or not at all)  I LOVED the idea.  Truly, it struck a deep chord with me, and even made my eyes a little misty. The recipients reaction to the letters, well, that's a whole other chapter of sociology.

Anyway.  Here's the challenge.  Sit down, write, and mail 2 letters today.  Not even letters.  Notes. Postcards even.  Less than 10 sentences. No, make that less than 5 sentences.  For no other purpose than the attempt to make someone else smile.  If it happens to be to someone you haven't spoken to in 6 months or more, then that's even better.

Come on.  It'll take you 5 minutes.  I did it.
