I know they are valuable and do us a good service eating bugs.

My problem with them is the memory of a weekend when I had several encounters with 2 of them, and ended up being forced to beat a seriously injured one to death with a broom.

The horror of doing that has carried over to bats in general.

It's weird...when I was in elementary school, my dad brought one home for me. He made me a little screen cage, and I took it to school for "show and tell". I kept it for maybe 4 days to a week, then released it. I had no fear until many years later over that awful weekend.
Shame Karen. Big hug!!

So...what cake are you bringing us?
I thought a Triple Chocolate Mousse cake would be appropriate.

Just please! Someone needs to corral the hedgehogs and armadillos. And I don't like jellyfish slime on my cakes either!

I don't think they are going to get a chance to get anywhere near that cake. It will be gone before they even know that it is there.

Wow. That is actually a very nice bull. You sure have done lots in your life. And I love hearing your stories.
I'm pretty sure that's a cow. Here's what the bull looks like:

Neither of those pictures are of my cattle. I had them in the days prior to digital cameras and all my pictures are, well, pictures!

Whahaha. Well I did say I know nothing about cows. Or bulls for that matter as well. [emoji23] I figured the pics were not yours. Still it is an impressive cow.

We need a new piece of “good” wood for our mail/post box to mount on. When I told wifey that we needed a piece....she said “really, REALLY?” you need MORE wood!? Just like tools, you can always use another one.
Amen. My son keeps telling me It's pretty bad when your mom has better tools...
