Labor Day

A couple of weeks ago we had a pretty good wind storm in Deweyville. A tree in our back yard that had been mostly dead was knocked down but we hadn't had time to deal with it until Labor Day. When my husband was cutting it into logs he discovered that there was a bat sleeping behind a big piece of loose bark. My kids did what any normal kids would do. My son put on a pair of gloves, caught it and put it in an old bird cage. The poor critter was obviously upset to wake up to this predicament and so to calm him down, the kids covered the cage with a towel and put it in a closet in the basement where it was cool and dark. They were planning to look at him later when he calmed down and then release him on the mountain behind our house. After about an hour I decided to go down and take a picture of the bat to put on my blog but guess what...when I took the towel off the bat was gone! We searched the closet but without any luck, so now we have a small bat living IN our house.
