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

My nature walk and visit time with my friend /adopted* sister Shelly was great.  I feel 1,000,000 times better than I did yesterday.  And from the sounds of it so does Shelly.

She was able to take some great pictures of the environment there, and some of the 100 or so Elk we seen on the way there and back.  Also she took some pictures that were ruined by my being in them lol.

Thanks Shelly for going out to nature with me.

* not really adopted, just she feels like a sister to me right now , which is pretty cool as I’m an only child.

I’m looking forward to my planned nature walk this evening.

I hope to, with the help of a friend, find Sheep River Falls.  From what I’ve seen the area is beautiful.  I hope getting away from town and being able to talk with my friend will help remove some of this stress and anxiousness I’m carrying.

I hope to renew my relationship with nature this year.  Both through my own exploration into druidism and just working on/in my yard.
