Unwanted Guests

Hi,

 A couple of weeks ago, Mr. D decided to clean the grill to get it ready for the season.   Imagine his surprise when he opened it up and started working in it.   Yup - a mouse nest.   Apparently they were nice and comfy for the extremely cold winter.  They were well fed too because of my feeding the birds.   They stripped the insulation from the grill cover to build their cozy nest.  Ingenious little critters!

 Now we'll spend the next two weeks with mouse traps trying to catch the little critters.   Mario has continuous bird, mouse, squirrel TV at our house.   He's a happy cat while his humans are grumbling!  He he   Guess it serves us right for feeding them so well and providing nesting material.   We'll have to come up with a different game plan for next winter.  

 Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  I sure did.  Daughter & SIL came Saturday night and took us out for dinner.   It's always nice spending time with them and we never seem to get enough of it.

 Mary

    My husband has a 1982 car which he parks in a detached shed. There have been mice that have made it their home in the past. Quite surprising to find them in the trunk.

    Actually, it's quite thoughtful to provide Mario with such entertainment.:-) xo

    Mario is not doing his job.

    It could be worse, they have been spotting bears around my area.

    By seeing the nest i came to a conclusion that you love all the animals and do no harm to them!

    I hope that you're able to get rid of your unwanted guests soon. You might have to give your live-in exterminator a raise! Is Mario a vegetarian cat?! Glad you had a nice Mother's Day!

    Thanks for stopping by to see what was growing around the farm and to listen to our friend's music on my little video - You should check out their web site - all of their CD's are equally as good - I like some of the "older" ones best because they have the most "traditional" gypsy jazz music. If you listen to Pandora radio, Pearl D'Jango has their own "station"

    Best wishes - glad that spring has finally come your way! :-) T.
