back yard viewing while working on things
Nov. 22nd, 2014 12:58 pmI do enjoy working in the back room, where I can see out the back door/windows.
Sure, there's a lot less to look at this time of year, but every so often I catch a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye, and watch whatever's going on. (usually birds or squirrels, but sometimes cats also)
I just got the amusing experience of watching a couple of squirrels chase each other along the top of our fence. For some reason I cannot explain, the way squirrels move is just ridiculous-looking, and typically amuses me.
Of course, I also tend to wonder what happened that they are chasing each other. Are they playing tag? Did one of them invade the other's space? Are they just heading in the same direction and the fence makes it _look_ like they're chasing each other? Maybe they're heading home to lay in a good store of food for the winter!
Bouncy squirrels, thank you for the break from grading papers. :)
