Look behind those chairs. A fox is running through our yard. Windows on all sides of the house look out to the woods, so someone, on some side of the house, will spot movement and shout to the rest of us. Then we call go running to the closest window. We've seen him a few times now, so we must be on his route. He is delightful with paws big, flat, and black. His tail is long and fluffy and one can see how easily it might wrap 'round to be a blanket like pictures of foxes show. He can be very fast, once he decides to take off, but he seems to like sniffing around our house, perhaps for chipmunks, etc. so we have gotten some good looks at him before he moves on. We love our home in the woods!
