Wakefield Wildlife

Today in Wakefield we witnessed some wildlife. While eating cashew rolls (a kind of food I didn't know existed but was delicious) on the porch of the Pipolinka Bakery, my new favorite place (it was a real bargain for the amazing food), we watched a skunk try desperately to get into this shed across the road. He was knocking himself over, he was trying so hard to wiggle in. Finally, he managed it! And then a cat came along...It had been watching the skunk. We watched, on the edge of our seats, while the cat slunk up to the shed, sniffed around, started nosing around the hole the skunk had gotten in...we were anticipating a grand confrontation, but some people came into the parking lot and the cat ran away.
Also, this is not in Wakefield, but yesterday, Abby and Kate and Brenda (our host) and Lisa and I went downtown in Ottawa to see the cats that live in these little houses by Parliament. There's this old man who feeds them, and there are a bunch of strays that just live there. We did see one cat, and one sleeping cat, but the two animals that spent most of the time eating were an obese groundhog and a big black squirrel. The squirrels are black here, did you know?
Wakefield is the best town ever. There is a cat at our billet named Rafiki. He is friendly but he bites sometimes. However, he bites friendily. Becca bought a pretty blue summer dress and we all ate ice cream.
