I’ve been scarce around here, largely due to overwhelm on a global and personal level. Today got off to a good start and then quickly went south with the news that my son was in a (heightened) health crisis. A while later, I was on the phone with my spouse for the umpteenth time, updating him on our son’s condition, when I glanced out the window.
Such a gorgeous fox, possibly the same one who visited my neighbor in June? Either way, I was delighted by the sighting. I quickly grabbed the nearby camera and captured this one image through the deck railing before it jumped on the back fence and went to the other side. Foxes must have incredibly keen senses because this one immediately knew my camera and I were at the closed window.
A brief interaction, but that fox lifted my spirits immensely. For that, I’m grateful.
Take good care, everyone.

First, I am sorry for your son’s health crisis. I know it can be stressful, made worse by these stressful times.
But good for you for recognizing a moment of grace when seeing the fox.
Be strong.

Thank you so much, Becky. He was finally able to get help and is, at the moment, much improved. You’re so right about how as parents we never outgrow those worries. Hoping all is well with you and yours.

I’m glad to know that, Tracy. Sometimes, I think maybe it’s even harder for us when our children are older and face serious troubles because we often have less control over the situations. Thank you and take care!

Yes, you expressed that perfectly….when they’re grown, we have less control over health situations.
