Day 12 Green Bushes- Haibun Journey — View from my Window

As I get ready to pull back the curtain, I wonder if I will see anything different. Half expecting snow, yet I see brown leaves and green bushes. There are no birds among the branches, not even the sound of their songs. No visitors have been to the feeders since, I last filled them. Well not really one cardinal came a few weeks ago, sat on the feeder, looked disgruntled and flew away without ever tasting the seeds, And the suet… gone along with the new holder, the birds never getting a taste because of the raccoon. That damn raccoon, who steels the suet and the suet feeder every time I replace it. I wonder if he is hiding in the green bush or if he is still haunting the room above the garage.
