Scary Mystery

One morning.. I went out to put something in the mailbox.
This was on the stone path in our front yard.





I leaned down to get a closer look.
EEEK..I'm a bit scared. I go to the
front door and called for Rich.

"Something out here is scaring me, come look please"


It's soft & velvety feeling ..& it looks like an EAR.
Shades of "Blue Velvet" (a movie by David Lynch)
it's an ear, it's an ear

It's creeping me out.
It's the size of a human ear.

Rich says.."everybody calm down"



Oh I'm glad I don't have to imagine about it ..

Deena....you managed to scare me ....I was actually thinking it was an ear.....

You are not going to eat it, are you? Edible or not, I don't think I could....

Ha! Ha! It does look a bit weird. I'm surprised you didn't even try to move it around first with a twig or something..LOL
