bat in the house!

Ever try to catch a little bat flying around your house? This Irish family causes quite the uproar as they go about that very task in a panic. The videographer/director seems to be the most upset of all, except maybe for the poor dog, who literally loses it. Even though this chaotic chase isn't really funny, it is hilarious! So I share it with you.

porch music

We missed August 26, which it turns out is Play Music on the Porch Day, but we can listen today. This music is a bit of heaven and the Spoon Lady knows what she is doing. I find myself listening to it over and over again.
