We don't actually know what to call the wall cavity facing the back door, the one that springs water-leaks whenever it rains, but M. has been transforming this space with ferns. Amid the ferns is a Japanese lantern that M. bought about four years ago, which I have always thought should be in a shrine of some sort. (Perhaps this is because it sat among the ferns around the pond in our last place.) Since it now sits in a shrine-like cavity …
Anyway, the magpies have been getting accustomed to us, and Ted, and scavenging from Ted's bowl whenever he leaves anything behind, or from the bones he leaves in the garden. And, apparently, the Japanese lantern is the perfect spot to check out the food bowl.
