Things you see from the basement window!
I thought I would share a funny thing that happened over the weekend. On Saturday, I headed to the pain cave to knock out my workout. I had just mounted my bike and started to pedal when the position of a "bush" caught my eye out the window. "I don't remember planting a bush right there in front of the window.", "...wait a sec, that "bush" looks a bit funny. It isn't a bush, that's a MOOSE outside my window. Wild life in our area isn't unusual at all. I don't care where you live, a moose napping under a tree in your front yard, is unusual no matter where you live. We took some pictures and showed the kids. I thought better of opening the front door to snap some pics, beside we were only 3ft away from the moose when we were in the basement. So, when RnP say "Pics or it didn't happen", I have some of the pic below.
This is last springs calf and in the second pic you can see mamma moose resting across the street under a pine tree. Living in a rual location is nice but "different" at times.

WOW!! Not sure what Sonny and Riley would think of that. They go postal over the squirrels in the backyard but a moose...Riley once got up close to an elk and he was a little freaked out
Chuck - I know moose have long spindly legs, but all I see are small post holes in the snow leading up to that calf - no mashed down powder indicating a creature plowing through that stuff which looks pretty deep. Do they really high step like that, leaving only those dainty footprints?
@coachp, thanks for the warning. When that moose stood up, it put it's head right up to the window and looked right at my 2yo son. Alex, my son, yelled "MOOSE!!!!!!" I was back on the bike and almost fell off I was laughing so hard.
