The Mini Post

Is there anyone who is satisfied with one packet of instant oatmeal?  



(I guess a one sentence post is better than nothing.  I got the idea from Peter --  a blogging friend for five years.)

Nope. And instant oatmeal doesn't have the same power-punch that regular oatmeal has. I never use the instant stuff.

I have been eating oat bran for the last few months, part of my diet. It doesn't come in instant, but only takes about a minute in the microwave anyway.

I use quick not instant because the boys would have 3 or 4 packets for breakfast alone! It was just to expensive!

I always go for two. Unless I'm heaping it directly from a bulk bag of the stuff. And then I'm putting way more in my bowl than I oughta. It's the perfect antidote to the Canadian winter.

Ice Can Look Nice

When there is an inversion and the fog rolls into a shivery valley it is both dangerous and breathtaking. Walking on the gravelly path seems stable, but even the small twigs that stick up around the edges grab onto the moisture and create little artistic ice crystals. a male house finch adds a spot of color! After a few days of this wintery chill,  a warm Chinook wind blew in.  It was probably pushed ahead of what the weatherman called an "atmospheric river" which drenched the west siders way beyond seasonal norms.

Hug each other.  Feed the birds ****

The mouse business began last month when a bad aroma began to annoy me. I nervously checked the compost crock and the garbage can and even peeked in the oven to see if a piece of meat had been left to die there. My nose finally led me under the sink to a forgotten mouse trap. Sure enough, there was a little furry creature ripening under the hot water pipe. Gag me. The snare and its little feast of long dried up peanut butter had been prepared several month previous; set by WR in response to my reminders (nagging) that we needed to be prepared for the winter mouse invasion. I'd left the primed trap alone, acknowledging each time I noticed it with careful avoidance. After our catch, we were once again aware that the field mice had found shelter under the house. And, that at least one had squeezed through the small opening around the kitchen pipes into the warm cabinet under the sink. WR set another trap with fresh peanut butter. Now I am paranoid. I keep hearing things: Paper...
