I saw a MOOSE outside the kitchen window this am! It ran away so fast so no photo. 🥲 I went outside for a closer look & it stared at me, which I took as "hello human, you look pretty cool" & I said the same back to the moose. Now we're friends. 😄 These are tracks we found from days earlier. #kidlit

Moose eat fermented apples fallen from apple trees in peoples gardens. The apples contain alcohol and the moose get tipsy from eating them. So watch out for the moose swaggering and swaying around like some drunken sailor. 😄🍎
