Squirrel’s Storehouse

Backyard Planter

Squirrel scampering

Hiding acorns ‘neath

The slumbering vine

Truckload of treasures

Delivers in Winter

Syllabic Verse

🍁The pesky squirrel is back and digging in my plants burying his treasures. He’s cute but I don’t like the fact that he digs in my plants to store his food for winter. 🍂😩

Out of Order sign

“Out of Order”

The sign said

I didn’t

Like what

I just read

It made me

“Out of Order”

Syllabic Verse

Shopping, rushing to the restroom, stopped by this sign. Stand there and stare blankly for a minute, regroup thoughts, make a plan B and move on.

On a long walk, so thirsty, remember there’s drinking fountain at the park, but a sign says….”Out of Order”–(plan B again)

So tired of walking around the Mall, friend wants to go to the food court on the third level, head to the elevator, but…guess what!!!

I am sure we can all relate to having those “Out of Order” days. They are not fun but they sure slow us down and make us think! 😊

Love Your Neighbor

Welcome sign in neighbor’s yard

Hospitality

Speaks in many languages

Reaches out to those

Who take the time

To stop and listen

Syllabic Verse

On my walk today, just across the way, I stopped to take this photo of a sign in my neighbor’s yard. Something very nice but unfortunately unusual to see nowadays.
