Bats and Pumpkins
Several times in the last few weeks, when I have opened the garage doors of a morning, a bat has flown out of the garage. Our garage has arched openings which open onto our courtyard. These openings have short fence sections to keep the dogs out but even if the garage doors are shut, there is still a way for flying critters to gain access to this sheltered area.
I love bats. They can consume SO MANY bugs in one night of dining it isn't even funny. Just wish he would move into the bat house I have in the front yard!
And I had a volunteer pumpkin come up in one of the crop circles. And there is even a small pumpkin developing.

A Little Confusion...Bat? Rabbit? Cat?
I think my last post was a bit confusing.
2011-2012 is The Year of the Bat - a proclamation made by several world agencies in an effort to further educate people worldwide about how beneficial bats are.
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit.
According to the Vietnamese/Korean calendar 2011 is the Year of the Cat.
So pick your poison. Personally, I think I'll celebrate them all!!!

The Year of the Bat
"Together with Bats"
2011-2012 was been deemed The Year of the Bat. The United Nations Environment Programme has joined with various other world agencies to help celebrate the Bat. The only flying mammal in the world.
Bats are mysterious and maligned but they are essential to the environment. They assist with night-time pollination, distribute seeds, and are aggressive in the area of insect control.
Please join with us and help celebrate this denizen of the night.
