Periscope Depth
It seems as though Nature is just as annoyed by this season's aggressive weather as I am.
Today, I spent a certain amount of time just standing at the front door, waiting for a late Fedex delivery. My package was four hours late thanks to (you guessed it) snow in Tennessee.
I peered out at the thick, crusty snow, and wondered how much longer it'd be before I looked out and saw green.
Then I spotted this chipmunk at the entrance to its burrow. It was apparently thinking the exact same thing. It paused there, motionless, for a full minute before it abruptly disappeared, as though a trapdoor beneath it had been released.
I thought this was adorable.
I also thought this was a welcome sign of the interconnectedness of all things, and of our collective faith that Spring must come.
I also found myself thinking that if I had an underground house with a hatch to the surface, I'd spend way too much time standing at the ladder, pretending to be a submarine commander.
