I just assume it is a wildlife animal.....This was over by the hosta bed on a mulch pile from when they cut the trees down last year.....I just stared at it.....WHAT IS IT? It looked foamy.....is it poop??? But who poops like this.....I took a stick and stirred it.....I just can't imagine what this is......anyone know??
Thanks!!!
