after taking bumbershoot outside to relieve himself and resettling him under the guest bed. I started work on my computer. I was taking a break when I spotted a flock of cedar waxwings at a tree in my backyard, I was grabbing my camera with the zoom lens. When my phone rang, I saw it was cassandra and I put on my headphones. Hello cassandra. I sang hello jane. You won't believe what I've been dealing with this week, She replied, is it something to do with the pandemic? I asked cooper and spikes daycare closed. They've been home with me all week. I'm trying to work from home, but it's a circus cassandra, lamented cassandra's two sons were about two and four years old cassandra and I went to college together and she lived in Los Angeles with her husband Elijah. We had remained close, largely because of the bad traffic in L. A. Cassandra would call me up when she was in gridlock, I can't imagine. Are you expected to complete your regular workload? I asked. Cassandra was a lead software developer at a healthcare tech company. I lined up a photograph of a wax wing outside kind of, I don't know, my whole team is upside down to one of my coworkers texted me that apple sauce somehow got spilled all over his keyboard and he will be out of commission for 36 hours until his amazon package replacement keyboard arrives. Sounds as if he's also watching little ones at home. Speaking of watching little ones, I have some huge news. I said as I clicked off another photo. Even though the berries on this tree were small and shriveled up like old peppercorns. The birds seem to be enjoying them. What? OMG what is it? Ask cassandra. Don't get too excited. I'm fostering a dog. His name is Bumbershoot. He's a medium sized black mutt, wow, that's great. I'm glad you won't be completely alone. When did you get him? How's it going? She asked. I replied, I only picked him up last night from a humane society volunteer. He's very, very timid and it's a special case where they needed an extra quiet household to help calm him down so far. He's just hiding. But we haven't had any accidents and he doesn't seem aggressive. I hope he relaxes with time. I think my household is the opposite of extra quiet. I'm so frazzled and tired. Two days ago, cooper had a runny nose and I thought I would lose it. Hey, hey, don't hit your brother. She said, oh no, is he okay now? I ask what? Oh, they're just trying to slap each other from their car seats. No, I mean, cooper and the runny nose? I asked. Yeah, I think he's fine. Elijah has worked up to cassandra said over the phone I heard crying erupt jane. I'm sorry we are having a meltdown here. I totally understand. It was great to hear your voice hang in there. I said as she hung up. I put the lens cap back on my camera and I put it away. Journal entry two April 2020 nature goes on regardless of one's mood and new life is popping up daily Now I am familiar with crocuses but I had to look up spring snowflake flowers, bumbershoot and I went for a short walk and now I'm back home having a second coffee. I just looked out the window to see an opossum scurry across the backyard and into a brush pile. After winter. I'm sure he's out seeking any snacks he can find. The Virginia. Opossum is one of my favorite creatures because they are such an unexpected outlier. They are the only marsupial native here. Counterintuitively early marsupials had their heyday in north America during the late cretaceous period 100 million years ago. The Western US was home to marsupials. Like Seattle is to Starbucks. Later they were all out competed by placental mammals. Australia is the last refuge for most marsupials since placental mammals had a hard time getting their back in their zenith of north America. Only one marsupial survived the purge. The Virginia opossum, it's as if there were only one coffee shop left in Seattle and it's ugly, cute with pink toes.
