Sunday, Leroy finally saw the
pictures. We had been gone since Friday morning so he can be excused for some
of the time. We returned Sunday. He was pleased with how it looks now that it
is the focus of his attention.
My plan was to tell him on Wednesday
which would have made it a week without noticing them. He does often eat with
his focus on his food and his head is lowered over it. We do talk some during
the meal. Or perhaps I should say, “I talk some during the meal.”
Leroy has planted some lettuce and a
few radishes. However last night he told me that something has been digging in
the bed. We both blame our friendly neighborhood squirrel or squirrels. They certainly
feel at home anywhere around the territory. It could be that they buried some
walnuts in that very spot or they have a vague memory of last fall’s activities.
Now they just search in many places hoping to get that nut free from the
clutches of the earth. Leroy made it easy to dig in the garden. Surely lettuce
and radish seeds are too small for them to consume.
Our winter onions and garlic look
quite fine. I just so look forward to things that I can eat in my local area. It
satisfies my sense of what is good. Even though I rarely eat meat, I might be
persuaded to eat squirrel if that were an acceptable city thing to do.
