My brother Martin had sent me an 'annotated' version of 'Happy Birthday' today, and at the line "you live in a zoo", (
of 'Happy birthday to you/you live in a zoo/you look like a monkey/and you smell like one too') his comment was that it was a poorly stocked zoo, as we only had one animal species on display (btw, our craziness is genetic). I responded by telling him that he was simply looking inside our house, but if he considered all the species on our property, including mice and squirrels and raccoons and rabbits and snakes and moose, we had a pretty well-stocked zoo.
Not an hour later, when I took the girls out for a morning frisbee session my comment about having moose on our property turned out to be prophetic, as we had Ms. Moose was happily noshing away on our trees,

| A girl could use a step-stool here, please! |
A visit from the Birthday Moose always makes a birthday extra-special. And yes, Martin, I
do live in a zoo - we like it that way! *grin*
We did not know you had a brother! Anyway, we like to see a moose from a safe distance!

She is quite a looker! Did she actually have a mottled coat or was she just shedding? Fabulous photos, Liz!
