Often, I guard the house from a window in the basement. It gives me a good view of the back yard and woods beyond. It was spring and the man of the house had just installed screens, so he opened the window so I could smell the air. No sooner had I leaned against the screen, when it fell out! It wasn't hooked up. I landed on my feet and decided to check the house on all sides. The man of the house came out and spoke softly to me, but I wasn't in the mood to stop and be petted, so I ran into the woods. It was good to be outside again to smell the smells, stalk birds and mice and see how things had changed.
To be continued.
