Black Forest House

What moves in this card

• The red squirrel on the balcony rail turns its head now and then and flicks its bushy tail.
• The two deer at the edge of the woods turn their heads from time to time, their sides rising and falling as they breathe.
• The brass pendulum of the cuckoo clock in the window swings steadily to and fro.
• Drops form at the tips of the icicles on the eaves, the fountain spout and the stone trough, fall, and glint as they land.
• Firelight flickers in nine windows of the farmhouse and in the window of the chapel on the hill, and the chapel’s round window glimmers.
• The big star pulses, the stars twinkle, a shooting star passes from time to time, and the pink glow of the dusk sky breathes slowly.
• Snow falls in three depths, with the odd gust that lifts loose snow along the ground; snow slips from the fir branches and the roof edge and lands in little heaps, birds fly over now and then, and frost glints on the snow.
