Wilderness

This is the view out of my bedroom window, which is two stories up and overlooks this large garden. Space is at a premium in this small town - there are buildings crammed into every nook and cranny - so it's odd to see such a large garden.

Up until a few weeks ago, the house was occupied but abruptly - from my perspective, at least - the people living there moved out. Since then, the only activity has been a man painting the driveway doors, one weekend.

While there were people there, the lawn was always well tended but I'm watching it slowly grow wild. Maybe when I get 'round to buying a humane trap and catch the little mouse that keeps me company some evenings, I will set it free over there.
