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...

and Meatloaf wrote a song about that one, 'objects in the rear view mirror seem a little closer than the are.........
What are you doing in Seattle? If you had waited a week, we could have gotten together.
(than they appear :) :) )
WOW! that last photo is gorgeous!
xo
swampwitch: We were in Seattle to lay aunt Pat to rest. A cremation allows for the memorial service to be held at everyone's convenience. So it was this weekend.
WT: indeed -- ! I love these pictures of me the best.
cooper: I was in the passenger seat.
First two pix were from the rear view
I missed the picture of the MOON when I was driving. A moon from a motorcyclist mama.
mjd: yes I unzoomed (or whatever you call it)
gaynor: I'd love to come over there an take pictures!!
Barngoddess: Forest fires adding to the intense color. No photoshopping at all!
Susie: yes we were headed east towards home. I'm suprised that our camera can take a photo at 70 mph
Beautiful pictures. The sun one is amazing.
Every time I hear that sentence, I think of Jurassic Park.
Kailani: It was in the 70's in Seattle - and you can't beat that. It got warmer and warmer as we drove east
Amanda: near the turn off to Goldendale. How's that for ironic
bs: accidental photographer. TRUTH.
Whipper: like Kila said Midnight. As soon as that clock ticks past 11:59:59 we're starting a new day
Kila: Jurasic Park scared the bejedins out of me so I never watched any more
Hayden: The greatest shots are the ones you least expect to turn out
Debbie: No I was in the passenger seat at 70 mph
TWPintheG: Post them anyway. There must have been something in the air this weekend. I'm wondering if it had something to do with looking back...as we were coming home from a funeral.
beatiful pics;)
LOVE them.
Hugs,
Sue
Great shots!
