Yesterday William and the other boys were FREAKING OUT about horses in our yard. I was in the tub at the time, so wasn't able to go look, I asked if he thought it might be moose, since horses didn't seem likely to be roaming free, he had no idea, but said they (there were two) were HUGE!
Well, I missed out on it yesterday.
But today, as I was backing to try to make a run up the street with the Crown Vic with bald summer tires in an inch or two of snow on top of ice, to head to school, what should my surprised eyes happen to see? But two large moose (or is it mooses? moosea? moosae? moosies? :P ) walking through our front yard into the neighbors, and then crossing the street, I hurriedly pulled out my digital camera and took a picture as best I could wihle navigating the snow and ice, through the windshield. It's not a very good/clear picture, but enough to see that one seem to be a parent with a child, and they were definitely huge!
I wonder if crossing the path of dark moose is something like the path of a black cat, because not 2 minutes later on the street below, at 5 MPH I ended up in a ditch. See those pics in a separate post.
