THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL PRESENTS: THE HABITS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN FLEDERMAUS CHAPTER 514...

(Brought to you by Godiva chocolates and various online yarn warehouses...)

...The many false stops and starts of Minnesotan spring are both famous and irritating to it's denizens...it is no less irritating for the North American Fledermaus.
*Shot of Ms Maus packing her sweaters away...and unpacking them...and packing them...and unpacking them...*

Emerging from the hand-knit woolly nest, the American Fledermaus is in need of sunlight, fresh air and various vitamins...
*shot of Ms Maus buying an embarrasing amount of fruit and flowers at the Wedge*

The combination of vitamins, warm air and sun release all kinds of hormones, leaving the Fledermaus giddy and easily distracted.
*shot of Ms Maus jumping up and down in the flower gardens in Loring Park yelling, "Wheee! Wheee!" ignoring the people hassling her for money*

The spring air gives way to stormclouds and the loud, booming thunderstorms the Midwest is famous for... with the predictable results from our target Maus.
*grainy shot of Ms Maus hiding under blankets and whimpering*

But when the storms abate, the Fledermaus goes back to the routine she's established...hunting for food, playing with bright shiny objects and using her high-pitched echolocation squeaks to communicate with other creatures...
*Shot of Ms Maus tangled in yarn with the phone cradled between neck and shoulder as she knits..."So then what....He DIDN'T!!! NO way!!! That's just SO over the line... Sheesh, we work for stupid people, don't we?!? It's time to pull a Fight Club in his office, I'm serious..."*

NEXT ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL... TARANTULAS AND THEIR WILY WAYS...But first: Will the Australian Snake-Botherer finally get bitten after poking that venomous snake with a pointy stick? Tune in!!!!!

Haha! That was great.

As one siamese twin said to another...

"Hey, that's my idea! Give it back!"
"No! I had it first!"

Gawd that was a great show. And so true! I've got yarn burn from packing and unpacking my sweaters. But I miss them when it's warm.

Lovely.

For me, the sweaters stay where they are. T-shirts all the time, baby. Now I've got frostbite and sunburn. It's easier this way.

Would you please leave those sweaters out so it can warm up? You know it will just get cold again if you put them away.
