Right now, there is a game going on upstairs. It is about hibernating. It's an iteration of another game they used to play called Huffy, Puffy, Sleepover. They are wearing long dresses and Calliope is packing things like shoes and money. But this time, it involves packing baskets up. I also see some Fiddler on the Roof influence, where they are bundled up like they are fleeing a gulag.
We saw a squirrel in labor today. That might be part of the influence too. Ask Clara to describe it to you. We heard all this squealing way up in a tree. And there was this enormous bulge from this mama squirrel. It was like she was pacing in labor.
Anyway, just a little scene from here on a windy, spring afternoon.
