I think I made a new friend today

This morning I went out and cruised around the yard a while. I saw a squirrel that I have been trying to get acquainted with. I walked slowly (as not to spook him) and calmly so he knew I wasn't trying to stalk him. He seemed to understand and instead of quickly running away, he taunted me a bit by running circles around the tree and stopping each time to see if I was still watching.I guess he realized I wasn't trying to catch him. I think maybe we could be friends. After several minutes of this game, the squirrel moved on and I went down to the river to take in my daily view. As I sat on my favorite rock, I saw a couple "Oregon Ducks"... well actually they were ducks,,, and they were in Oregon. After a while, a drift boat floated past . Then it started raining a little bit and I headed for shelter. Even when it rains, I wouldn't trade my life on the river for anything.
