We were just finishing breakfast one morning last week at the cabin, when The Man happened to look out the front window. This is what he saw:
But that was not all--oh no. He saw this too:
Aren't they super cute? A Momma and her baby. They stayed and nibbled for quite a while. We went out on the front deck and watched them. They didn't seem the least bit annoyed that we were there. We've only seen moose one other time on the property. It was in the spring and they went leaping up the driveway as we pulled in. They were not interested in staying for a chat. But this little family was different. They just felt like hanging around for a while.
I couldn't help but wonder what they would think if they looked in the front window and saw Mr. Winky mounted to the wall. It seemed like something out of a Far Side cartoon.
In fact, one of the kids in our group saw them later that day with their Papa down in the swampy grasslands off of the main road. That's good. Every moose family needs a Papa. Preferably one not mounted to someone's wall.
