Little brown bat pictures... and worm "relations".

Here are the bats hanging from the house. *** First read the story that explains these pictures in the previous post called "Batty bats".
Here is one of the bats approximately 2 minutes after the fall-
Here you can see the injured/bloody wing.
Another batty bat.


So to lighten the mood from the sad, injured bat.  When J was in the woods going on his late night stroll, he kept hearing odd noises.  He looked down and saw numerous worms having "relations" with each other.  Oddly, we have a picture.  

Who needs the "birds and the bees" talk when you can give the "worm" talk!  

Other updates:
We had a fun visit with my brother and his family.  The funniest part of the day was when we were in the lower part of the barn and a bird flew over our heads and out the barn door.  Every girl present (including two grown women) screamed and NONE of the male counterparts even made a noise.  

My parents came to visit yesterday and helped me hang up pictures in our house.  One month after moving and we finally have some art up on the walls.  J got home late and sad he immediately noticed the artwork and felt like our house was more our home now.  My parents also took us out to eat at a local Italian restaurant-- I'm heating up the leftovers as I type this!  Thanks again Mimi and Papa!

Lastly,  we just got back from Menards.  J got rock to build a little retaining wall around the outside of the chicken coop to ensure safety for our girls.  I guess foxes can dig under the fence and steal away all the chickens.  Our coop will be as safe as Fort Knox! So take that foxes!!  Aye-yah (picture JJ doing a ninja like move).
