It is also knowing that home is what I bring to it, and in that is the sure and quiet knowledge that home is within me and always was.

I took the camera for a walk in case I discovered leaves that would catch my attention and to check the mail. No mail so no bills or occupant stuff. No leaves to catch my attention. I did encounter this critter. They were ready to quickly scurry up a tree if I made the wrong move. However I stopped and said “Hi.” They then turned and gave me this pose with a smile, let me take a half dozen photos then scurried up the tree. It was a wonderful gift. And, I did get a leaf and pinecone in the image. Look at that tail! It has been warm today but overcast. Warmer tomorrow also then it turns cold for a few days.

That squirrel looks to be pretty well fed and what a bushy tail. It’s still Indian Summer type weather here. I’m not complaining at all but we do need more rain.

Along the cold weather we may get rain. Let’s hope so.
