“Lucy. What are we doing back here in no dog’s land?”
“I thought we should get out more and see new things.”
“Yeah, but we never come to this part of the yard.”
“You have to ask yourself why.”
“No, I don’t. I know why.
“Okay, want to fill me in?”
“This part of the yard is filled with nothing but ghosts.”
“Ghosts? Listen to yourself. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”
“You can believe that if you want to, but I know different.”
“You do, eh? Well, tell me what you know.”
“Late at night, when no one is around, I see a weird light back there.”
“Weird light? Oh, you must mean the camera.”
“Camera? What the heck is a camera doing back there?”
“It’s a security camera for the gate back there. The light comes on when there is movement.”
“Ah ha. And just what moves in the middle of the night?”
“The wind blows the trees, and they move. The camera reacts to the trees.”
“So you are saying there is nothing else causing the light to come on.”
“That is what I’m saying. Ask mom if you don’t believe me.”
“I wonder if mom ever saw a ghost on the camera?”
“Oh that would be a good question to ask her. I think your answer would be a fast trip to the feelings doctor.”
“Still wouldn’t it be great if she got an image of one.”
“You’ll never know till you ask. By the way keep me out of it.”

I can see the girls doing a paranormal show–believer and skeptic debating the “evidence” on the recordings, both staying up late to monitor what the camera catches. If not a ghost, I wonder if there are pumas sneaking into the yard. Good thing Twiggy’s on the case.
Belly rubs to both of them. Thanks for a fun morning, John.

I must confess: I expected raccoons or possums as the cause of the movement, not trees. That seems a little odd. I can’t help wondering…

Our yard is fenced in such a way that the critters don’t think it worthwhile to enter. Our front camera picks up skunks, possums, fox, cats, dogs, peacocks, deer, lizards. That camera in the side yard is focused on the gate but the swaying trees to cause it to trip the security light.

And heaven forbid I take the trash out after dark. Those lights pop on from a distance. We aren’t living very close together either. Crazy. Lol
