Abandoned House

Spring winds scud across our faces where earth's lilt language serves as a backdrop to our walk. If we listen hard enough we can hear purple flowers growing despite our moving feet.

We approach an abandoned house from the east side. Running across expanding green features we fall to our hands and knees in search of a small treasure. Digging underneath the house's west corner we excavate a white marble with yellow swirls. I imagine it belongs to the previous owner's son.

After dinner, we drove our walking route to see how far we had walked.

Slowing in front of the abandoned house we explain to my husband where the marble was previously found. There upon the hillside we saw a red fox. She was the color of fire. Rays of sunlight fallen and compressed to her skin. She was beautiful. Then in the murmur of our voices she disappeared.

Before we drove off we saw four baby foxes scurrying from the same west corner as where the marble was found. Imagine our excitement at seeing a red, mother fox and her babies. Below you can find a picture (click to enlarge) and video of the four baby foxes.
