thank you for going back and checking on them! and calling a specialist for advice.
sometimes they get chased to the ground but are fine, other times they get hurt and can no longer fly which is why they’re on the ground. this one seems to be making their way up to a proper takeoff height again which is a good sign
this site lets you sort species by country and state
are you able to go back and see if that bat is still there? many species of midwestern bats cannot take off from the ground and would need rescuing
if that’s the case, search your state plus wildlife rehab, and call one of those places to ask what to do
Books: Narwhal and Jelly was a favorite at that age. Also if an adult reads with her, we were reading the Mercy the Pig, and Zoey and Sassafrass series at that age.
I’m pretty sure that was also about the age we got our first Snap Circuits set. It still gets pulled out and built every so often - the flying “helicopter” is still a favorite.
However, Play-Doh is one you can never go wrong with at that age.
Edit: Forgot to add that Dr. Seuss and PD Eastman books are very good for the typical 6-7 year old reading level.
How did you hack my phone? (/s)
I thought I was being smart because I almost always remember my phone, so no more looking for misplaced notebooks. Now if only I can remember which app I saved that idea in and what title I gave it.

If your dog doesn’t already get wet food, you could try the small packs of wet dog food. I make 3 little “meatballs” out of the wet food, one of which has his pill. He scarfs down all 3 and thinks he’s getting a treat.
Green tomato chutney and oven dried wild leeks have both gone over well in the past. I’m not sure what we’ll do this year, so thanks for bringing it up. Now I’ve got some time to plan.
I would call a local wildlife rehabilitator and get their opinion. Searching “wildlife rehab” plus your location hopefully turns up someone.
If not, your state/province/national wildlife, parks, or environmental department would hopefully be able to tell you who you can contact. They might even send one of their staff.
And if all else fails, call around to local vet clinics. One may know a rehab organization in the area.
Same. And P A R K. Currently we “marche” and visit the “DP.” Not sure yet what we’ll use when he figures those out.
I look like that at work too
They buzz the top of my head if I dare step outside without more food when the feeders are low

My sister in law is very hard to shop for, but she knits and crochets. She also makes kimchi throughout the year, so I painted the ingredients for kimchi on some stitch markers she can use with her knitting projects.
I make these in memory of my grandma every year when my family gets together for Christmas, following this recipe. The recipe makes 16 kolache, 12 with apricot filling and 4 with poppy seed filling
Outside garden is asleep til spring, but I still grow a few herbs and lettuce for our pet rabbit
Just in time to start my mystery knit along, I finished both yip yips. The knit eyes worked out really well. I’ve never laughed so much while knitting something, these were a really fun project
The last one I can hear it saying “chick-a-dee-dee”
