The day before yesterday, as I was going out for the morning paper, I met a fox on our sidewalk. I think he was a young fox. When he saw me, he turned and loped away, heading for the park.


That night, I was awakened about 3:00 am to find a bat circling around the bedroom. He didn't seem to be very smart. I opened a window for him to get out, but he went to the bathroom instead. I opened a window there, but he headed downstairs. I opened the front door and he made several circling flights around the hallway, before he found the way out.


Now I wonder, what has made our house suddenly attractive to wildlife? What other critters will come calling? I can't wait!


Well, yes I can.
