Lulu's Window

The view from this tall window at Wilma atnd Titi's apartment has always been one of my favorites in the city of lights snoops. Lean out and look left and you'll see an army of decorated rooftops, and the Eiffel Tower on the other side of town; gaze straight ahead and you'll see a cinematic array of other people's apartments across the courtyard that would make  L.B. Jefferies leap out of his wheelchair.

When the boys adopted  Lulu-Cat, it was coming on winter, so the window stayed closed and the kitty played safely in her sixth floor flat. By Spring, however, the air had to be let in, so they opened the windows and constructed a genius makeshift 'gate' in a gallant attempt to prevent little  'lu (by then an impetuous teen)  from stepping out. Of couse, you can't keep a gold medal kitty olympian cooped up with chicken wire, and soon she was not only hopping from ledge to ledge, but paying frequent visits to the neighbors -- whenever, I imagine, they were cooking some variety of poisson   for dinner.

I miss Lulu-Cat and her daddies, and am so glad that my first glimpses of 2006 will be from their fabulous living room window.

oh, dear sweet lulu!!!

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, [s]he standeth behind our wall, [s]he looketh forth at the windows, shewing [her]self through the lattice.
...
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
