Was nature speaking to me today? I think so.
When I was driving to the park with my dog; an opossum walked out in front of the car. It didn't seem to sense any danger from my vehicle. He or she was just taking their sweet time. Anyway, it could not get into its usual field where I had seen it before because the snow was so high. So it just kept walking around the field. I could see that it would soon reach a part of the field where the snow was lower and it could enter.
The next thing was an odd tree. Was it one tree or two? Early on, it has seemed to split into two trees; however, in the later years, it was clear the two parts were growing back together.
Later in the day I looked out the window onto a tree which blew over in the recent blizzard. There was a cardinal sitting in it. I thought of my dog Tomas. Then a cedar waxwing sat in the tree about 5 feet from the cardinal. Then they flew away.
Later that night, I was out walking. All of a sudden, what I thought was a black cat started to slink towards the road from the bay (Green Bay.) It was actually, most likely, a minx--a long black minx. It was a bit creepy. It saw me approach. I stopped because a car was coming. I did not want the car to hit the minx, so I held out my hand to the car. It slowed almost to a stop. Then the minx stopped coming towards the road and went back by the garage it was coming out from.
And finally, I saw and photographed some spectacular northern lights.
What was nature trying to say to me today?
