Plowing with David Family went well again - I am slowly getting the hang of it. I must have made a vast improvement since last time because as I was plowing, I received the comment, "You plow like a man." I guess I will take it as a compliment...
Friday evening, I came home to find that I had a roommate. I wasn't expecting this one, nor did I want to welcome it - A bat decided to perch itself on one of my screens and haunt me - bringing back the fear of my bat experience in 2008. I ran to my neighbors to see what I should do. Do I hit it from the outside? from the inside and risk being attacked? I had no idea. We formed a plan to hit the bat from the outside in order to stun the bat and then go in for the kill.
I hit the bat, sending it flying across my living room and then after much "You can do it Hannah" pep talk, I braved the fateful walk into my own house - where the bat (which was tiny) had taken over. I found the creature in the corner, behind a chair and had no choice but to give it a good lethal thwap. (It took me about 5 minutes to summon up enough guts to hit it) but I did and now I have another "First" to mark off my list. Rat killer - check. Bat killer - check. Snake killer - hopefully never.
Saturday morning, the children in the family group nearest to my house were wondering what was going on Friday night - We had been strategizing (rather loudly), laughing, screaming, taking pictures - all for this tiny bat.
When the new babyhouse gets finished (which is located next door to my house) I will have to keep my late-night animal hunting adventures to a minimum I guess.
