Thursday Dao

Something tried to come in through the pet door last night. Stellina, all eight pounds of her, has managed to break the thing two times. In its place, there’s a plug, a weatherproof, homemade plug. When the cats came in for the day, the plug went in and the sun porch was closed off to the rest of the house. This morning, I found it open. Some critter, something, pulled it out last night.

Keep them in keep them out. It’s that time of year when creatures seek a safe hiding place for the cold months to come. Oak and Norway maple leaves are still on the trees. But, so many more cover the ground now.

The drive for security is beyond instinct. All creatures must eat, rest, cleanse and care for their daily needs. A hollow, a home; our place of sanctuary drives us to search for shelter. Not this one creature. You’ll have to travel on for the night’s rest.

Be well visitor.
