Going Green
So I'm talking to my step-mom yesterday. She was
telling me that she was in the garden today weeding
and she hears the bluejays just going nuts. They live
kind of in the country on the outskirts of their town.
Usually, when the bluejays go nuts it means there is
a hawk around. So then she hears the hawk going nuts.
Hmm.....unusual. Now, behind their garden is a very
small woods. (More like a thick stand of trees) From
the woods comes some sort of growling. Ooooooooook.
Then she tells me that the hawk came SWOOPING out of
the woods with a rabbit in it's claws and of course
the rabbit is screeching to beat hell. That explains
the noise in the woods.
On to the next animal story. Same day, same garden.
She's pulling more weeds, fussing over the plants when
something starts moving in the foilage. This is after
the whole hawk/rabbit thing so she's a little freaked
out anyway at this point. She moves the leaves aside
and find all of these little FROGS. (The same frogs,
she tells me, that have been showing up in their pool,
swimming every morning. My 13 year old sister even
swims with them......yeah, I know. She's never been
right) After that, she decides that she's done with
the garden for the day and heads inside. BUT!!! The
day isn't over yet. Later in the evening she calls me again.
Seems my sister (previously mentioned 13 year old)
headed upstairs to potty and then go to bed. They
hear her go upstairs then hear a HUGE scream and my
sister comes TEARING down the stairs. "THERE'S A DEAD
ANIMAL IN THE TOILET!!!" Apparently, over the past
couple of years, my step-mom has heard stories from
neighbors of similar things but she wasn't sure she
believed them. Now she does. So my step-mom goes
upstairs to look and sure enough, there is a DEAD
SQUIRREL FLOATING IN THE TOILET. (So of course, being
the big sister that I am, I put a
picture of a squirrel on my sister's myspace.)
It was too outlandish/freaky of a story not to share.
I was emailed a picture of said squirrel but I'm not sure how to post it. If I figure it out, I might.
