What a day!

Today was a day filled with animals of all kinds.

Beyond the typical spiders & woodticks & june bugs,

you wouldn't believe what I saw out my living room window this afternoon!

A fox or coyote, we're not sure which, but we do know that

momma & her pups love having playdates in our backyard!

UNBELIEVABLE. 

Then the unthinkable happened......AHHHHHH

I was sitting on the couch watching tv 

while Luke was taking a paged call from the clinic.

When all of a sudden he crouched down & ran into the room whispering,

 "BAT!"

As he's giving medical advice to someone, 

he's also now panting & running into the living room & garage

to find a tennis racket!

Once he got off the call he couldn't stop laughing 

& I couldn't stop shaking

from the bat almost landing on my head as it swooped down when I 

RAN

for the boys' room!

A minute later I heard a big slap 

& Luke still laughing.

(He must have been thinking about the Great Outdoors 

& I was picturing him with a wastebasket on his head!).

But bless Jesus, he got the bat. 

This about sums up my day!

Exhausted from all these animals.

Goodnight.
