Home Alone

Landon doesn't get home until 9 at night from work so I am home along for a while... in the dark... in the woods. I am usually just fine by myself. I do lock every door to everywhere and make sure all the blinds are closed and that I know where the gun is and that it is ready to go... just in case. But seriously, most days are great. I kinda like my alone time to do whatever I want. To watch shows Landon won't watch with me and eat in bed. (Don't tell Landon he hates when I eat in bed)
But last night was a different story. It was getting to be 8 o'clock so I went to the kitchen to start dinner. I was browning the meat when I hear 2 big THUDS coming from the back porch. If you don't know my closest neighbor is about a quarter mile away, and we live basically in the middle of the forest. No body can see our house from the road and for all intensive purposes we are all by ourselves. So I hear these THUDS. I get freaked. So I grab the gun and go to to back door. I turn on the porch light and I see... nothing. Everything is fine. No footprints in the snow. No animals, nothing. So I walk to every window looking outside to make sure that there is nothing there. Nope... I am all alone, or so I thought. I go back to making dinner. Once dinner is finished I get back in bed and start to watch my show (The Biggest Loser). Now I am at the totally opposite side of the house and I hear a couple more THUDS. Again with the gun and looking out the window. Nothing. So I know Landon won't be home for a while so I call my Mom. She sends my dad over to check everything out. Once he pulls into the drive way he sees it....

(just pretend there is snow on the ground and that I took this picture last night)

A big daddy moose. Right by my porch. I couldn't see him when I looked out the window because he was black but when my dad pulled up his headlights caught the culprit.
I was freaking out for nothing. But I was glad that my dad came to rescue me.
