This is the country!

I can't let the children outside to play anymore! Nope, although I live in a gated community safe from strangers for the most part, there have been several rattle snake sightings, and now mountain lions! Yes, they follow the deer down from the lakes.

To top things off, we were watching TV with a door open the other night, and a bat flew into the house. Thinking quickly, I threw the laundry basket over my head, and screamed at my husband to go and get it.

I ran to the computer to look up what one is supposed to do in this situation, in addition to screaming. I had that covered. All the articles said that bats were good because they eat mosquitos. Is that like saying that mice are good, because they pick up food crumbs, so you don't get ants? I did my part by yelling to my husband again, get rid of it, but don't hurt it.

Fortunately after about an hour of chasing it off of our 20 ft. ceilings with a huge pole it grabbed the pole and we took it outside. I mean he took outside while I supervised from under the laundry basket, peaking from behind our bedroom door.

Did I mention the wolf spiders?
