@DaWezl @tommykeegs Yup. TOTALLY TRUE. Our Mom was a little upset that the buffalo damage wasn't more dramatic when she finally saw it. She had a good story to tell about her van being gored by a buffalo but it just showed up as a small crease on one side.

@maggie_monty @DaWezl I still have the scars to prove it!

@DaWezl They look like the downhill slides otters make for fun. The third picture looks like they're having a ball sledding downhill. I don't think beavers are so rompy. If you have beavers in the neighborhood (they are very obvious!) you probably have otters (somewhat less obvious).

@DaWezl A fisher might slide for fun, too, since they too are weasels. They are active up here where I live, but I've only seen 2 in 20 years. One I watched from the window in the winter, just barely in the treeline, skirting around the backyard. Didn't want to be seen!

@DaWezl (A mink might, too--or a fisher. They're all related.)

@DaWezl How close are you to water? Otters like to slide in the snow...

For your information and continuing education: after offhandedly calling the plants in the yard "stingless nettles" for the past couple of years, I've finally bothered to pick a leaf and spent an hour or so identifying it. It's called "clearweed" (Pilea pumila).

So now you know.

Just got what I'm sure is a WAY IMPORTANT UPDATE from Twitter.

[Mojo Place @MojoPlace]

I haven’t seen Mister Bun for a full YEAR and just assumed he done got et. Maybe so, but today we have Baby Bun in the back yard, so SOMEONE’S still out there!

[Mojo Place @MojoPlace]

I can’t tell because one is usually on top of the other anyway, but it looks like one has left the nest! #WatchWhereYoureWalking #TheyGrowUpSoFast

Any day now...

Some days it just really saves time to say "I hate people" and leave it at that.

FIFTEEN YEAR OLD MOJO: Wow, I never thought of that. You are sooo profound.

FIFTY-FIVE YEAR OLD MOJO: Wait a minute. You just cribbed that from an old episode of KUNG FU.

@maggie_monty I heard a whippoorwill once. My hearing is still recovering!

One of the advantages of waking up early in the summertime is sitting by an open window listening to the birds wake up outside. When you are camping in a tent, daybreak is like a freakin' CIRCUS out there with all the calls. I don't know how people can sleep through it!
