Out of Hiding

The clouds parted, sunlight streamed down, and a host of creatures decided it was safe to come out of hiding this morning.

I had my first bike ride in a week. I shared the roads with squirrels, rabbits, pedestrians, and cats.

All of us were welcoming the return of the sun.

The squirrels and rabbits, obviously ravenous from days under cover, nibbled at nuts and grass with complete disregard for the humans passing by.

A black and white cat was enjoying a good back scratch on the sun warmed asphalt. The feline barely blinked as my bike tires passed within two feet of him. Nothing was going to interfere with his long awaited good time.

The bicyclists and pedestrians offered hearty good mornings, the sun having returned good cheer.
