Hearing Things
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...

Is that owl really living close to you?
We had a screech owl baby for awhile. I think it was hurt and my brother was nursing it back to health. We feed it meat...and it did make a crazy screech (o:
Reminds me of a grouchy old man who isn't really as grouchy as he appears. :)

Then I saw that it was an owl ! they have such funny faces and eyes like my cat Rosie ! You are so lucky to see them life !
Mine are here and here.
I miss the pair of grt horned owls that lived near me in CA. I didn't see them much, but I heard them nearly every morning sometime between 3 and 4 AM. Lovely.
Hugs and blessings,
I've not seen an owl upclose and personal yet. I do see them flying away sometimes at twilight - off to find a dinner mouse I guess.
thanks for the owl photos.
they make the most soothing sound at night ... so easy to sleep to.
The WV word is "loathe" ! ! ! I think that is hilarious.
