Shadow Squirrel

The shadow of my house crept up the neighbor’s wall this afternoon and while I worked (that word again) on bills and paperwork, another shadow scampered across the neighbor's outside wall. A squirrel had run to the peak of my roof and sat for a moment, its shadow a perfect silhouette on the wall in front of my window. I'm glad I wasn't out xmas shopping, or I woulda missed it.
