So I went out this evening to check on the potted cherry tree and the blueberries that did not need watering, in case they, y’know, needed watering.
The fence was now closed.
But they work on it when the sun is low, and so I heard the neighbors on the other side and our ladder was right next to there and I walked over to it and asked, “Knock knock?”
They laughed and welcomed me on up to look down at them, and I whipped out my phone and showed them today’s hawk photo taken through the double-paned glass. Fuzzy, but it was what I had.
And then the wife was the one who said Y’know, we really ought to have that gate, shouldn’t we?
Meantime, I finished the qiviut project and went on to the next with December coming at us at the speed of hawks’ wings.
