It's been a rough day for small mammals around here.
A few days ago, Mike reported seeing a cute little mousie nibbling on GB's dinner, which generally pleased me as = no rats in the barn. It apparently came back last night and failed to please GB, as it was somewhat flattened when I found it this morning.
Jodie also got in on the act, when we surprised a squirrel crossing the road and it foolishly froze to consider its options, rather than just running away: she pounced, and managed to get it after a short tussle. It sounded just like a squeaky dog toy....
(I thought people might prefer that I didn't post those pictures directly. No gore in either of them, though!)
More cheerfully, and contrary to both my expectations last night and the weather forecast, it's been gloriously clear all day here, with not a hint of the fog that everywhere else apparently has had.
This tree always makes me smile when I walk past it:
Now, to wait until Mike's here tomorrow before putting up the tree, or to put it up this afternoon so it's all nice and cheery looking when he gets home from a day in the offices...? |
