It's A Very Moose Mornin'

When I went outside early this morning for my coffee and cigarette, I noticed some dark shadow up near the roadway. I could not hear anything; heck, I could barely see anything, so I came back into the house. I waited until more daylight appeared but I kept thinking to myself, what the heck is it *peeking out the window - still seeing that shadow*. As daylight approached, I thought, oh it is two quads, maybe someone is poaching (they do that here). I went back outside only to realize, I am looking at a big horkin' moose. Yikers, I quietly moved back to the house. I watched that lady moose quite some time. Then I hear my husband flicking the venetian blinds, he says hey, there is a moose out here. I replied, yep - you should see this big baby out back. The lady moose stood up - my word - she had to have been 8', as graceful and majestic as you would expect. Both the calf and the mom had a delicious breakfast of twigs and dried berries before they left on their merry moose way. Oh, yes - just prior to leaving mother moose decided to leave a special hearts day present for us. Happy Friday, the terdteenth.
