Treasure

 

This morning I reflexively

shoed away the squirrel

from my garden. I assumed

he was digging into my

newly-planted flower pots.

 

After breakfast, I peeked

out the bathroom window

and was shocked to see

the presumed thief. He was

gathering strawberries, and leaving

them on our table in the courtyard!

 

He obviously took great care. Not

one of the precious berries

was smashed. He placed them

out of the sun, under the umbrella.

 

What a treasure for we humans

to enjoy this afternoon!
