It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Bloggy Midweek Warriors!

Here's our Halloween poster child of the day.

I can picture him saying...

'Moo-oom, I can't see good!'
'Moo-oom, I'm hungry and I can't eat any candy with this suit on!'
'Moo-oom, I've gotta go!'

Speaking of 'gotta go'...

I was in the ladies room at work yesterday (sitting down, minding my own business of course), and a terrifying, attack centipede came scurrying right at me!

It knew I was in a vulnerable position and chose that moment for a multi-legged offensive. I am proud that I didn't scream.

So... I stuck out my foot (from my seated position)and stamped on it. Sorry, PETA.

Moving on again...

I mentioned the other day that Charlie had 'company' at his deer blind when a deer came to visit him, eye to eye!

Well, yesterday he made another new friend - a Carolina Wren. Charlie had to look it up in the bird book to find out what it was.

A Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) is the official state bird of South Carolina. It is about the size of a sparrow and is dark rust brown on the back with some rusty areas. The throat is white and it has a prominent white eye stripe.

It obviously didn't have any fear of him, and wanted to hang out in the blind too and watch for deer (and bugs).

The little wren came to the 'window' of the blind first and perched there, checking the place out. Then he figured that since Charlie had a bow, he couldn't be hunting birds, so the wren flew over to Charlie, who had his bow in his LAP, and perched ON HIS BOW! Can you believe it?

Charlie even tried to shoo it away, and it wouldn't leave! It was enjoying the blind. ;-)

Well, those are all our nature stories from yesterday. Have a great Wednesday and TTFN!
