Where There's One . . .

I just saw a fox. He made his way along the east side of Mrs Lindell's house, then darted in under the old trees and shrubs near the front of her house. First time for a fox here on Greenwood Circle. Raccoons a-plenty, squirrels by the score, owls and crows and flickers and other such predatory creatures. Well, raccoons prey upon garbage cans and will attack dogs, I've been told.

But a fox.

I wonder if he has found the invalid squirrel who lived under the shrubs on the west side of Mrs Lindell's house. I saw that squirrel three times in the late summer but have not seen it for many weeks. And a fox makes one wonder about a den and babies. Oh dear. What will become of the neighborhood?
