In my "backyard"
Apr. 24th, 2012 09:30 pmI love how even just out walking the dog, there are lovely little things. A sky blue eggshell under a black cherry tree. A little wild sunflower springing up in the woods.

Saw my first bat of the season this evening. There have been rabies alerts in the local area lately: a bat found dead in a residential area tested positive, and a dog contracted rabies by fighting with an infected skunk. I've never felt a smidge of fear about bats, only happiness. The rabies reports give me pause, but if a bat is out in the evening, flitting around chasing insects exactly as it should be, I'm not worried.
