Bison Drive-By

Hey look honey!  Cute Bison on the hill side.....

Look honey!  There's a bison in the road....

And he's getting closer!

He's headed straight for us!

Can he get any closer?

I guess so....

Carnage

Damn Squirrels!

Found

Hidden deep in the messy drawers of my kitchen. Tucked inside a oven mitt. Waiting patiently, maybe since Thanksgiving (hmmmm?). Only to be discovered last night.

When I pulled the mitt out, there was something hard inside, and given our recent escapades with the rodents, I was afraid -afraid that somebody had crawled inside and was now mummified. You can imagine my relief to find, no, it was only one of my many plastic mice. Silly sister!

Thanks for the smile...

Day Fifteen (or Happy Halloween!)

If you look very carefully at the black blob on the left, you will notice a small claw sticking out from the side of the coffin shaped critter. And what is this critter? A very small, very clean mummified bat.

I was doing my laundry this past weekend, shook out a shirt to put it on the hanger, and lo and behold, a piece of black fluff fell to the floor. I picked it up, EWWWWW, and immediately let it drop back to the floor. So what do you do with the clothes once you have found a bat in your clean laundry? I decided that a rewash, without the bat this time, was in order.

We get bats in the house occasionally when we open the doors after dusk and leave them open for a short while. I've had to catch them in a pillow case and release them outside, or even chase them out an open window when I can manage to do that. But this is the first time I've found one in the laundry.

Happy Halloween!
