Living with my parents has been like an extended vacation, one that Chowder and Maxine are also thoroughly enjoying. One of their favorite places is the window seat in my bedroom. I put a pillow and blanket down so they an lie and look out, and I can tell they appreciate it by the amount of time they both spend there. They seem to especially enjoy watching the purple martins at dusk, when they go crazy feasting on the millions of mosquitoes out here (as you can see from the window, we’re in the country). On top of that, there’s a herd of cattle that grazes in the pasture and drinks from the pond next door, and they seem to like watching them as well. These are the same cows that we frequently feed our watermelon rind–I’m planning on taking a few pictures next time because they’re pretty cute.
