Look what was living in our attic!

We've been hearing scurrying sounds coming from the attic for about a month now. My husband has finally been home long enough to go up there with a have-a-heart trap, and look what he brought down this morning! (BTW, this is not my photo; it came from here). He seems to be a southern flying squirrel and was as cute and sweet as can be. Apparently people keep these as pets - which is why we didn't show it to the girls! Mark took him over to a nearby park and let him go. He also reset the trap - there's probably more than one. Maybe I'll get the camera out in time for the next one. Who knew?

Ah, the joys of living in the country!

My friend Kevin attracts the flying squirrels on his deck with bird seed, and watches them "fly" around all summer. They are pretty tame, and let you go out on the deck while they do their acrobatics. That being said, I wouldn't want them in my attic...
