Halloween ended at our house last weekend. When we went out in the yard to cut our Christmas tree down, three moose were hanging out behind the garden fence. After we went back inside, they climbed the deck to eat our frozen pumpkins. Perhaps the holiday decoration zoning board sent them.
A cow with twins. Another mama of two just trying to get by. I was glad to be able to help. When they finished with the pumpkins, they ate all the dead plants out of the raised beds around the deck. I hadn’t cleaned the garden out because in August I had been too busy with newborn Coral.
This moose visit had an impact on Cedar. She’s not afraid, but she is worried that they will be bad houseguests. The other day she woke up from her nap and told me about a dream. “Mama, a moose came into my bedroom and knocked over my toys,” she said. “It ate my food.” Maybe we’ve read “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” too many times.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Nice to see another Alaskan mom on the blogging scene.
I love your commentaries. Thank you for finding the time to write about parenthood in the last frontier. I only had one child and couldn’t find the time! C.
