Last summer, back before scatterplot was a twinkle in Jeremy’s eye, I was writing about how I was batty over bats in our new house. Well, the snow just melted a few days ago, but apparently that’s good enough for bat season to start all over again.

I spotted this little guy this afternoon when a door-to-door gutter cleaning service* interrupted my writing. This one’s outside, but since we didn’t do anything to batproof our house other than wait for the cold, cold winter to freeze the critters into hibernation, it’s just a matter of time before we have a midnight visitor again. Since a case of rabies isn’t in my summer plans, I guess I will put that on my To Do list.

*How great is that? Delegate the gutter cleaning without even pressing ten digits on my telephone. Done!
