Critter, critter

So tonight, I came face to face with the reason I keep my backyard light on.
No, I didn't have my camera, and even if I had, it wouldn't have done any good, because I panicked and slammed the screen down.
  Sitting there at the window, *not* looking out into the side yard... (I have been forbidden to look out there until Sunday, because my mothers day gift from #1 son is apparently right outside my window) I figured I was safe to use that window, out of the rain spray, because I didn't have my light on so I couldn't see.  That's when something came strolling around the corner of the house! I'm pretty sure it was my irresponsible
neighbors cat, though I've never seen one of the ferrals *that* close to the house.  It could have been a fox... I'm close to positive that it had pointy ears.
I don't care *what* it was, I just about had a heart attack.  I don't think the critter was feeling particularly calm for the next few minutes either.  I mean really, how would you feel if you were out for an evening stroll and something just above you went, *inarticulate-gargle-noise* *SLAM*!  Well, the light's on now.  I'm still a little shakey, but that's just the panic subsiding.

Speaking of critters, my silly Easter cake this year.

Well, there's a filler for you.. more to come with big Mothers Day news!
And as usual...

Thanks for Noticing me!
