His Number is Up.

I love it that God gave us evergreens. They're so reliably happy when all other color has faded.

The birdsong stopped, the harpists left my head, and cold reality settled over me.

I crunched my way back inside the house, and this guy chose to stay outside enjoying the day's loveliness.
