It’s cold today. I went in to work for awhile this morning. When I left and walked back to my car I saw a squirrel go up under the car and surmised he/she was seeking the residual warmth from the engine. I opened and shut the car door to warn him away before I started the engine, and no fewer than 3 squirrels came boiling out from the wheel well. A popular gathering place in the cold is my car.

Later, 4:30- Driving home from a friend’s spinning/yoga class I saw a beautiful red fox cross the street in a residential neighborhood. Acted like he owned the place, full of poise and grace.
