the leg bone connects to the knee bone


Martin and I have been joking about all of the scrap metal and auto parts we have been finding.  From tires and batteries in the woods to headlamps and windshields (well shattered pieces of a windshield).   As we dig and move top soil, we are constantly finding more bits and bobs of cars.  We figure that if we had saved everything, we could have put an entire car back together. It probably wouldn't have passed inspection (or actually run), but it  would have been a whole car.

Along with finding car parts, we have also been regularly digging up bones. At first we thought it was just bones given to the neighbors' or the previous owners' pets.  Bones that had been gnawed and thoroughly enjoyed before being buried somewhere in the back yard. However, as we keep digging, we are finding more bones and more unique bones. Ones that don't look like a typical dog treat.  We figure that if we had kept all of the bones we had found so far, we would be able to wire them together to make a skeleton. I'm not sure what creature the final skeleton would be, something from another planet probably.
