Just outside this window is the tree canopy that the fat bakery birds sit in, the wire that visiting birds as well as the resident sparrows use, and the top of the fence where a black squirrel or chipmunk might appear. We know when the black squirrel has made an appearance, because she’ll streak into the front room, tail puffed to a comical size, and she’ll do the sideways-skitter-and-arched-back halloween cat thing until she’s sure it hasn’t followed her.
