And then some sort of "white nose fungus" began moving through the bat colonies, and for two years now we have not seen it. Could have died of old age (have no idea how long bats live, but can only assume it succumbed to the disease. I suppose not everyone would be happy to have such an occasional "bat lodger" but I miss him/her. I still catch myself looking up when I leave the house to go into the garage to see if it is there.Leilani Schuck Weatheringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04517660684870960794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-65908435451043835612014-06-10T07:11:42.882-07:002014-06-10T07:11:42.882-07:00So sorry about your Cockerel but he's had a gr...So sorry about your Cockerel but he's had a great life with you. <br /><br />I often sprinkle field poppy seeds around the garden in the hope they will germinate but they never do.

There was a lovely little corner of willows in an abandoned field where we made room for our flower 'dressmaking'. The imaginations of childhood are so precious....
