Unlucky Luck

Today the weather was amazing. The temperature was perfect. The breeze was light. The leaves are orange, yellow and red. The sky was the purest of sky blues, not a single cloud in sight.

I took a little time after lunch to read an excellent book in my hammock under the crabapple tree in my hoodie sweatshirt, snuggled up in a fleece blanket in the warm and beautiful sunshine.

Suddenly, there was a drop that landed square in the middle of my blanket. Then another drop. And another.

But wait. The sky was blue, not a cloud in sight. The sun was shining bright.

I looked up.

Sure enough, there was a squirrel dancing around on the branch right above me.

And apparently he needed to relieve himself.

I ended the day with an extra load of laundry.
