A distant siren. From a hole near the top of a tall black locust, a squirrel whines at precisely the same pitch.

Love all your posts, but this one puzzles me – is a locust a tree where you come from? (In my world it’s an insect.)

Yes, we have black locusts and honey locusts. They are thorny leguminous trees akin to acacias. A thornless version of the honey locust is often planted as a street tree. Here on the mountain, the black locust is a common first-successional tree, and there are a number of them around the houses and at the wood’s edge. They can get over 80 feet tall.
