up with the chickens

I was squirreled away in "The Squirrel"

for a few hours each night

to be rudely interrupted each morning by 

 

 

 He is the cock of the walk.

 

 

He got us all stirred up.

 

Each morning,

I went on a garden tour by myself

 

 

 

only to be followed and harassed the entire time.

We visited another pal and her sweet littles.

 

 

Ruby is shy and sweet.

I tried to no avail 

get her cuteness to climb in my pocket

and return home with me.

 

 

Oh my Siley Pie,

those eyes!

I believe none of the antics your mama 

claims you are up to.

And Calvin is smart and adorable

and betrothed to my Miss Aubrie.

We had lunch and played.

Jayme stirred the kiddos into a frenzy

that almost rendered her a spanking.

Aaron was in tow.

I adored him as  much as he could tolerate.

He also refused to come home in my pocket.

We had late dinners,

took a 5 mile trek, and spent much time gabbing.

I ate clean and strength trained.

I was in boot camp for free.

 I was treated like 

the kind of relatives you like.

I will be returning, but

I am taking a bigger pocket.
