I went to the library today. Got a stack of books. Did you know bats can live 30 years? And only have one or 2 babies at a time. Possums normally have 13 nipples, but there have been some with as many as 17! Got a book on mammals of VA.

We have possums none close here that is why we have Snow

I cannot believe somebody would actually take the time to count possum nipples...
"What's your job?"

There are 12 in a circle and one in the middle. Biologists study these things.

DH and I were out riding the back roads on our old Virago motorcycle and passed a mother possum with her babies moseying their way down the road. Mom was trying to lead her brood and they were playing, wrestling and tumbling, Only time I ever thought that a possum was cute.

Missouri has some really HUGE bats. The only ones I've seen are the little brown guys. Our attic has a stairway access and a trap door access. One night the trap door got giggled out of it's track and down came this little brown bat swooping all over the shop trying to figure out how to get back to the attic. We finally got the trap door open and up he flew never to be seen again.

We have bats around here. They come out in the evening, and eat bugs. They're cool to watch, the way they dart around.

We used to throw tennis balls in the air and the bats would swoop at them.

It rained late this afternoon. Not like yesterday's torrential downpour, but a nice gentle rain, lasting about an hour. It cooled things off nicely. Afterward, I was able to get out, and do a few things. When it's up in the 90's, I just can't do as much. It drains me.
