This morning while I was waiting for the train at the station where I park my car, I seen a little mouse.
I was idly watching the surroundings waiting for the train, spying what was left on the tracks and I noticed some quick movement. I missed it the first time, just caught a glimpse of it’s form. Alert now I was paying attention and seen the little thing going between the rails and off to one side where on the other side of a fence I imagine she had her nest in the tall grasses.
I watched the little mouse scurry and run down the tracks past me and to a discarded box of french-fries that had also landed between the rails. At the same time I noticed a woman about ten feet away from me also watching the mouse and she noticed me at the same time. We shared a smile and returned to watching somewhat voyeuristic, the slice of life of this little animal.
I lost track of where the mouse was and then the train I was waiting for arrived.
What a great start to the day
