It's entirely possible that the kitchen window can see through time. The view outside never seems to be exactly the same as when I look out through the back door or out the front. It's subtly different, and a little eerie. Could it be the outside from half an hour ago, or thirty minutes from now? Could it? Why does it sometimes look so drizzly through there even on clear days? What is the secret?
It doesn't always function like a time window. Sometimes people go outside and look back in through it. It could be a quantum effect. It could be something to do with Schrödinger's Cat. Maybe if you observe the window from both sides, it collapses down to a single time stream? That would explain the squirrels.
Oh, I haven't mentioned the squirrels yet! We named them Flip and Scoot, and they ramble around quite happily, but they were never there when we peeked out the door. Now, you might claim that is a natural consequence of the animals' superhuman reflexes, but would that account for the nuts suddenly not strewn about the ground, or the burning paw marks on the roof? Something was definitely afoot! In this case something was afoot at least eight times over! Sometimes the kids claim the squirrels did song and dance numbers, but they may have been inspired by cartoons and their imaginations.
In the spirit of curiosity, and of investigating potential damage to resale value, we invited in a scientific team to investigate. The results were... unexpected...
Possibly to be continued. One day.
