Train Baby Woodpecker

The woodpecker is working today in our beloved red maple tree. I hear him even with the doors and windows closed. Bare trees make the sounds carry.
I woke at two AM and got up at three. The window was open. I could hear the train and an infant crying next door. A crying baby makes me want to join in. Yes, life hurts, I don't blame you for screaming.
I was writing in my dreams. So I got up after an hour and fed the cat and dog and went to work. My dog Lily the long necked blonde ate breakfast and then climbed back into bed with my husband.
