I wonder

lobelia

I'm sitting in darkness just the glow of my computer screen, a fat fresh mug of coffee, with a bit of sugar and lots of milk, sits beside me. The breeze is fresh and cool blowing in through my big wide open windows. I can hear gulls and crows, and loons and herons off in the distance and a song sparrow is perched in a tree just outside my window serenading me. The sky is just beginning to turn blue and puffy cotton ball clouds tinged with a peachy orange glow float slowly by our windows. Bleet's already outside sitting on the porch surveying his world, Gus and Oliver are having a rousing crashing, thumping round of kitten wildness and Winnie's just cleaned up the cat food dishes and is waiting patiently for me to say Let's get goin' Miss D let's go down into the park and along the harbour's edge and down onto the crescent beach where we'll stop and sit on a big piece of driftwood, and we'll just sit a spell like, we do every morning and gaze out into the open water and I'll wonder ... can I ever leave this place ?
