Remember your Angels are Watching

As I mentioned yesterday we had snow early Thursday Morning. We didn't actually see it snowing
The photo below was taken at 6:15 am Thursday morning. Our deck was covered with an inch of snow. LunaPic has recreated the snow for us.
NCSU was in walking distances to many cafes and restaurants. Being a life long walker, I would walked to lunch at one of the cafes. One day my route back to work was thru a small the courtyard between Polk Hall (remember animal science) Physics passing under a large canopy of trees. I was almost to the Physics building when I heard a shrill squawk followed by squirrel falling within an inch of my head. It was so close to my head I felt a breeze. I jumped back looked down to see a very stunned squirrel staring at me. A few seconds later, a bit wobbly it scurried in the opposite direction. I looked up into the canopy of trees to see a young hawk over head. Everyone working in the area around Cox and Polk hall knew each year hawks built a nest, ironically, on the roof of the animal science building. My theory is the young hawk was trying to learn to hunt!! The squawking was about his glee to have caught a squirrel. However he had not perfected his skills. I think he had the squirrel in is tucked in his talons. Too late he realized he needed both feet for successful landing. So he dropped the squirrel. The squirrel lived to scurry another day and I'm sure the hawk learned a valuable lesson. In my mind's eye, I could see Mom and Dad Hawk shaking their heads. Junior obviously needed to repeat Hunting 101 before he could feed himself.
Feline Friday Flashback:
Angel Madi loved watching squirrels. She had perches located in several windows.
"When I'm very, very still and crouch very low I can watch squirrels scurrying. They don't have a clue that a great game hunter is lurking just above them, but today this hunter is too happy watch."
We had one inch of snow early Thursday morning. It was my kinda snow,
did not stick to the roads just the trees and cars...very pretty

I've seen this episode of I Love Lucy many times. Today's attempt at poetry will be to what I think the lady in the middle is saying;
YO Joe turn off the tread
