Weekend Visitors


I had some visitors this weekend. Mason was here Friday night and Saturday with his Dad. We just hung out around the house Friday night. Saturday morning Mason went to work with his Daddy then came home to play for a while before he and I went to a pumpkin patch party at the home of our friends, Dave, Laura and Clate Williams. After enjoying sitting around the campfire and having hamburgers and hotdogs it was time for everyone to enter the huge pumpkin patch to claim your favorite pumpkin. You just stood by your pumpkin until Dave came to cut the vines away.
On Sunday while watching TV I notice there was something in the doublehung window behind the TV. Right away I recognized it as a bat so naturally I took pictures. There is a small opening where he was able to get in. He moved around quite a bit during the day then sometime around 7PM he flew out to get his evening fill of bugs. I tried to close up the storm window better but wasn't successful. It will be interesting to see if he returns in the morning or if he will head back to the barn or behind the basketball backboard where I know there are a number of bats. I also believe they are living above the garage ceiling as there sometimes are droppings in the middle of the garage floor which I now know are bat droppings.

Loved the pics of Mason and his pumpkin(s). Interesting and so cool that you got pics of your bat "visitor".
