I have an update on my bat situation. Yesterday we were chillaxin' in the yard, gettin' our quid on, when J exclaims "Bats!" There were about 4 or 5 bats just flyin' over the yard for maybe 20 or 30 minutes right at sunset. I haven't investigated the bat house yet for signs of habitation (guano), and it's really too early to even get my hopes up. But up they are! I would love to have a bat family living here, I would even build and install a second house asap. Either way, it was a great feeling and a blessed moment. This was only the second time I've seen a bat at the house, and they were flying formations over us. :-)
