Certain things surprise me.

Surprise CAN be good.  Sometimes not.  And then there are the ones which simply make you go… . Hmmmmmm.

Like I saw this little empty nut shell on the ground today.  I can’t image who might have eaten it.  You see, our squirrels are so fat from eating the corn we put out in our deer trough, they can scarcely move.

It must be an old nut.
I am an old nut.  This part does not surprise.

Pine cones seem like they should only be on the trees in the winter time to me.  But today, I saw a lot of pine cones, on a lot of our trees.

It just seemed wrong somehow.  Like they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I am frequently in the wrong place…. at the wrong time.

Here’s another thing that surprises me.  I am… mostly every day… finding a new song that I really like.  Or one which I have never heard before.  There are a lot of talented people out there creating good music.  I am listening to Yellow Ostrich right now and…. I am starting to get a little crazy about them.

I get a little crazy about a lot of things.

So there you have it.  The story of my life.
I am an old nut… who is frequently in the wrong place at the wrong time…. and I am starting to get a little crazy.

But something tell me I am in good company.
