Creepy!

Last week while I was in Minnesota, my Mom and I gathered some moss.  I use this in my baskets in the spring that I plant flowers in.  I also have a couple of ideas in my head to use it for some things I want to make for Christmas decorations.  We gathered quite a bit and laid it on my Mom's living room floor to dry.  We sprayed it with bug spray just in case there were some unwanted bugs that may have come along for the ride.  After laying in Mom's house for two days we wrapped it in newspaper and then put it in two large trash bags and I then loaded it in my car.  We brought it home and I put the bags of moss in my studio to unload latter.  Well this weekend I started to unload the moss, because it was still a little moist and I wanted it to dry out before storing it for use in the future.  As I was laying the moss out in my basement, I had unloaded one bag and went to get the other bag and what did I find on the floor by the other bag . . .

 
this creepy half dead salamander.  Okay, so now I am a little creeped out that I have a basement floor full of moss that is drying out and wondering if there were any other stowaways with my moss.  Creepy, creepy, creepy!!!!!!!!!

Okay - I just everyone to know that I am totally creeped out - I just know that little critter left some of his friends in my house and when I begin my winter cleaning before heading to Calif. I'll find them hidding under the living room furniture - YIKES! Next time we dry the moss OUTSIDE!!!!! :)

I have been creeped out since you told me about this yesterday, Judy. I even had a salamander knocking on my door in my dreams last night. (Think LAND SHARK from SNL many years ago.) I admire that your mom is even talking about a next time. I may be done with moss forever, and it wasn't even my salamander experience!
