I Missed You, SF

Is it possible to miss something that doesn't even belong to you?

The short answer: yes.

I checked all the usual spots throughout the day, even played Hawaiian music on the outdoor speakers hoping to lure her to the patio. No luck.

Last night's thunderstorm surely scared the peahen off.

Yet, as dusk settled and I chatted on the telephone with a friend about how the peahen had gone - I saw the wild flapping of large wings out of the corner of my eye. Was it? I craned my head to see better through my daughter's bedroom window.

Yes, Summer Fence had returned. And I was overjoyed.
