A shifting drift on the mountain ridge maneuvers
as a fresh layer of frozen white settles into the Earth.
The bluest of blue skies seems to hold in the coldness,
as chipmunks burrow
a little deeper, to escape the cold
and the watchful eyes of the hawk perched high
in the pine trees.

It had been very cold over here for about a week. I often thought of the animals in the forest.
They have a way of staying warm. Thank you Erika! Peace my friend and wonderful blessings to you and your family.
Yes, they know how to!
Those chipmunks will have to burrow very deeply, from what I hear about this week! Stay warm, chipmunks (and you too!)
