A Little Sun in My City

.

My city is Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

S _ _ _ _ _ is so slow in arriving on the Frozen Tundra of Central Wisconsin this year that I have STOPPED even saying that word. Seems that every time I say it - - - we get a little more s _ _ _.

True, it isn't sticking and piling up on the ground, or if it does it melts quickly, but even a die hard winter s _ _ _ loving gal like me is totally OVER it in mid May.

Totally.

So imagine my JOY when last Sunday, Mother's Day, was rather warm and somewhat sunny. I decided to CELEBRATE the moment by going for a wee walk in the late afternoon sunshine to see what I could see.

One of the FIRST things I saw, was my own shadow. Thank GOODNESS I'm not a ground hog - - - I'd HATE to scare s _ _ _ _ _ AWAY for ANOTHER six weeks.

And just beyond my shadow, do you see that gorgeous clump of white birch trunks?


One of our favorite Wisconsin sights is white Paper-Birch bark vivid on a hunter green piny background.


And do we have pines! My favorite species towers above the OTHER trees and presents an irregular silhouette against the sky.

I just EAT them up, especially in the late afternoon sun.


Then I spied this!

Is it Batman? A mal-formed bunny? A black cat sitting on the fence???


Nope - - - just a friendly neighborhood black squirrel out enjoying the sun too.

And that is a little stroll on a sunny s _ _ _ _ _ day in MY city!

What's goin' on in yours?
