An Apple a Day...

I'm going on a diet...
Starting tomorrow,
I'm starting the Opossum diet.

apples, green grapes...
a mashed banana;

fresh baby spinach leaves,
garden-ripe strawberries....

plenty of fresh, cool water,
lots of play.
lots of washing & preening~
LOTS of sleep!

(sounds like a great way of life, no?)

These little Velcro Monkey-Mice
have completely stolen my heart,...
their little faces are imprinted in my thoughts,
and I am
just.
so.
... smitten.

{"say Cheese"}

now,
I know that some of you may consider them beastly,
and they are "rodents"...
BUT
I would rather spend my time caring for them,
{making sure that when they are released,
they will lead
...full little oPossum lives}
than spend my days
worrying about the economy,
the price of gasoline,
taxes,
poor health
or any other negative thing in the world
right now.

yes, I do wear Rose-Colored glasses,
and tend to see things in an Optimistic way...
it's just my nature, I suppose
... and it's with
Nature
that I want to stay...

Wishing you all bright and positive thoughts,
Blessings from the Farm,
Lori
