I thought these were rather stately looking weeds.
We are hearing a lot about mental health these days and it's a good thing. Here is a good website from Public Health Ottawa with some excellent videos we should all watch.
A couple of days ago, it was around 4.30 am, I heard my son running down the hallway, he had switched the lights on. I asked him if he was ok, he said 'there's a bird in the house'! Sure enough, these was a tiny black sparrow (?) flitting through the house in a panic. I went downstairs and opened the patio door and front door for a short while, it was still dark outside. Then we decided to close up and go to bed. Thankfully when we woke up that morning there was no bird in the house.
However that same night the creature came out of hiding. Turns out it was a bat! Husband M caught it in a makeshift butterfly net and put him outside. And that was our bat adventure!
