Don't pass this up because it's LONG, silly goose! It's important!

Today I noticed tiny footprints skitter skattered all over my yard. As they weren't in a line, I was puzzled. There was one over by the window, one by the strawberry patch, and one tucked into the folds of the hammock. Not only did it appear that this mysterious creature could fly, but also that he knew how to tuck footprints.

I sat on the rocking chair by the glass sliding door ( the one with the mark that I didn't wipe off when I had the spray and towel handy cause I thought the mark could've been fish spit which would have been DISGUSTING), and confused myself for a while. I saw nothing of interest; a tree, a plant, a grass or two, some chairs, a flying squirrel- holy goodness gracious! A flying squirrel!- and a duck.

Now what creature could be leaving those marks? Asked me to myself. I decided I'd wait up all night 'til I seed what animal could've been traipsing through the yard.

It worked. That night, as I lay halfish asleep in my rocking chair by the glass sliding door (the one with the mark that I didn't wipe off when I had the spray and towel handy cause I thought the mark could've been fish spit which would have been DISGUSTING), I spotted something moving. There was a tree, a plant, a grass or two, some chairs, and- holy goodness gracious! A flying squirrel was flying through my yard at break-neck speed and I hadn't noticed it before!!! This has got to be the most obvious thing in the world, and as obvious, if not more obvious, than that obvious duck obviously waddling through my yard (and really obviously!). Actually, the flying squirrel picked him up by the scruff of his neck and set him in random places. I figured that was where the prints were coming from, and the fact that the squirrel was carrying him around the yard was the reason for no pattern in the footprints.
