bat in the house

we had a bat in the house tonight, boy it gave me a bit of a scare when I
first saw it, but then we started looking for it, couldn't find it, went
back to watching a movie. A while later it appeared again, we went looking
again. This time though, when I put the light on in the puter room, I
thought I saw it, but wasn't sure. Called to DH, he got there, and sure
enough it was the bat. He took the towel and grabbed it, along with a
plastic bag, brought it outside, and then it flew off into the woods. sure
was glad to find, catch and release it back outside where it belonged.

we had a bat in the house tonight...................*snipped*


My mother-in-law was just telling me Saturday on the phone that they had a
small bat in their house. She thought it was a bird at first. They caught
it and she got a good look at it. Someone told her it might have come down
the chimney.

The funny thing is she lives in Rocksprings, Texas, near the Devil's
Sinkhole State Natural Area. She is a member (I think she told us she is a
"silver bat") of the Devil's Sinkhole Society and they operate a visitor's
center in town with tours going out to the sinkhole during "bat" season.

Here is a link to a web page about the Devil's Sinkhole if you are
interested: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/sinkhole/

Take care!

Must be the time of the year for little critters to get inside the house.
I have brought my plants in from the deck, one is a large cactus. Tonight
while my weavinfg friend came by and we were comparing notes on things,
there was this ribbit, ribbit of a frog right in the room. A little tree
frog has made its way in the house. I guess the whole plant has to go
out side again and lets hope the tree frog knows to go home to it's
mother...LOL, cricky a frog kwakking in the house, what next.

You know of course that bats are Angel-mice? hahah
When i was a teenager i found an Albino bat , that was thrown out of
his flock, thus i raised him. he used to snuggle under my sweater.

Hi Rose,

I'm glad you were able to get the bat out of the house. Our neighbor has had
to have a man come and set traps at the peak of her roof as her attic had a few
in it. The problem was the attic was her bedroom and at one point she said
there were four of them in there. It costs her big money, but at least they are
gone.

Hugs,

Nora

oh I'm glad we got it out also, don't even know who I would call to do it
for us, so we just waited for the right moment.
