An AFterthought . . .

I forgot to mention in my previous post... during our project this weekend, as I am working in the back yard, wheelbarrowing dirt around, I see something on the tree trunk. My first thought was that our tree had developed some kind of growth, infection, or fungus. So I walked towards the tree to get a closer look . . .

Couldn't really see what it was, so I got a little closer. . .

and as I saw this, I could see it moving ever so slightly.

I ran looking for Chris. He came to take a look. Most definitely a bat! I was a nervous wreck. We both decided I should stay away from the tree and leave it alone. As I am walking away, I look back only to see another one in the same tree. As the day went on they began to creep me out more and more. Chris and his friend Kevin decided it was best to make them leave our tree, one way or another. This is when I conveniently left. Kind of a crazy weekend if I do say so myself!
