White Rabbit: I'm Late! I'm Late! I'm Late!

Ho boy.

I really will need to get hustlin' after this brief post.

Maya and I walked this morning...in the rain...again...

(I'm sure I've mentioned it before...it just will.not.stop.raining.)

*sigh*

Maya wasn't exactly in the most cooperative of spirits this morning and was feeling mighty motivated to SEEK OUT AND DESTROY ALL SQUIRRELS.  So the walk was shorter than ususal.  Subsequently, I was feeling like I had (all the time in the world) more time than usual this morning when we returned to house.  Upon entering the back yard time slowed to a standstill as I gazed about my overgrown and ever-so-soaked garden.

My eyes trained first on the peas...

then downwards to the strawberries...

The gravitational pull was too much and soon I was up to my elbows in lovely leaves a plenty.

I pulled out quite a catch and, like a giddy little girl, I ran into the house with my handful to wash.  It was so pretty I had to take a photo (or two...dozen) before gobbling them all down.  (And they were DELICIOUS.  Those strawberries are the sweetest I've ever eaten.  I sincerely wish I knew what kind they were.)

As I glance at the clock now I realize that those feelings of time slowing down were just that -- FEELINGS.  Time has been ticking away all the while and now it is *time* for me to make a mad dash to get ready for the day.

Work awaits! 

And I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!
