THE CREATURES AMONG US...



Has anyone ever seen Enchanted? Remember when the princess comes to the city and all the creatures flock to her? That's what it feels like at our house. We live in a pretty small town, but we live in the "downtown area" of that town. We live on the main street where all the big beautiful Victorian houses and shops and restaurants are. However, we live a couple hundred yards back off the street and it is like a whole different world.



First, we had deer. They have a baby now and it is soooo cute!




The girls love to watch the deer.


Then came the bats. This guy lives between the window and the storm window in the bathroom. He wakes up in the evening, crawls out the little crack, flies around for a few hours and comes back. We don't open this window, EVER! The picture is a little blurry because of the film of dirt on it. I AM NOT CLEANING IT!!! The girls like the bat too, it grosses me out



Now, we have owls. They are really cool. They first came a few weeks ago and now they come and go every few days. They sit in the trees and sometimes on our porch roof and they splash around in the puddles in the yard. Did you know owls hiss? They do, its a little scary but I like the owls, they can stay. Plus, I heard they eat bats!!!
