The Circle of Life

So our house is located on which used to be Akagera State Park and let’s just say there’s a lot of residual beings. The problem is that I’m not sure what I want to disturb? As I have said before, I am a friend of nature but maybe not bff J. Does that make sense? So here is an example. We have all sorts of things living in and around our house but I’m not sure which ones to kill because it all goes in the circle of life as some things like to eat the things I really don’t like. I think I’m starting to get it down though. So we of course have the occasional moth, fly, crawly thingy, unidentified flying thingy, stingy annoying thing, death squeal mosquito and so forth. To take care of those we figure we should keep around the awesome geckos and smaller black spiders. We have huge brown spiders with hairy legs, but I have made the executive decision that they cannot stay in the house and must die. Then we have the diverse array of birds of all different shapes, sizes, colors, and of course calls. Actually, this morning I awoke to birds that had convinced me they were monkeys singing outside of my bedroom door. Actually I was convinced enough to get up and look out the window. Don’t worry, I’m not going crazy, there are moneys in the area. Lastly, well not really lastly but last thing I’m mentioning is our resident bat Batty. (I need to watch Fern Gully soon). So batty hangs out (literally) in the kitchen all day and eats the wasps. We would very much like to get rid of the wasps but I kind of like having Batty around, so the wasps are staying… temporarily. After much sneaking around, I was finally able to get a picture of Batty and I would totally post it and many others but internet is way slow, so maybe next time I head back to Kigali I can update with some sweet pics. Sorry that things have been a little boring lately, just the internet is way slow and the ole blogger wouldn’t upload.. bummer.
