October's Ghostly Moon

Last month I told the children at the library a tale about how yard statues come to life on the night of the full moon (see previous post). Let me tell you, those children counted the days until the next full moon, which was last night. Today they were so full of energy recounting how the statues in their yards or their neighbors had moved during the night. I finally got them settled down so I could read them a story but I must say it gave me a warm feeling to see them so excited and happy.

Now, the interesting part of my day... When I got home, my mother was in the side yard just staring at the birdbath. I asked her if she was okay and she said yes - but she was perturbed. It seemed sometime during the night, the stone cat we had in the backyard was moved to the side yard. She asked me if I had done it and of course I hadn't. The thing weighs a ton and why would I move it? Maybe Dad did it, I mentioned. She told me she had checked with him and he just laughed and shook his head. Hmmm - it does make a person wonder.
Maybe there is something to this story:)
