There is a mouse in the house!

"Jessica! Please come out here!" screamed my wife. "There is something in this computer desk. Could you find it and get rid of it?" Jessica not knowing what she would find went to the back of the desk to see if she could scare what ever was banging on the front door of the desk. You see this desk was designed for computers and has a back door for the CPU and cords to slide in and out and for the user to insert disks and etc via the front door. While Jessica couldn't see anything from the back the cat and dog were both growing more agitate, so of course she suspected to find something hiding. Slowly, Jessica when to the front side and slowly opened the door. What she found was a disk drive that was trying to eject the CD but was banging into the closed front door, and it did this repeatedly.

The wife had already made a hasty retreat to the other end of the house. So quick thinking Jessica placed the CD into a waste basket and took it to my wife. Being very careful to shake the waste basket, she Jessica asked my wife if she would like to see the mouse she had found. The wife clearly said "No! TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND GET RID OF IT!" Problem solved, but Jessica decided to replace the CD and reset the scene to see if it could happen again.

My wife did venture out to the computer again and sure enough the thing started banging again. Jessica to the rescue again, what should we do. The wife quite shaken that not one but maybe multiple mice were in her house suggested that they call the police. Once again the wife headed elsewhere for safety and Jessica retrieved the CD in the basket and took it back to a fearful old woman. "NO! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT!" This time it wasn't up to my wife to choose so gently Jessica pulled the mouse (CD) out of the basket and explained how calling the police would not have been a good idea.

The pesky squirrel was back at it again today. Below are a few pictures of him at various suet and bird feeders. It is only one smart or plain pesky squirrel as the rest are content to feed off of the ground.

You do have a lot of Mother Nature's creatures visiting your yard. I dropped by from Mrs Dof's E mail. The mouse story was very funny.

Hey, Dan, you got any good pictures of the sun shining on a day when the thermometer reads 6degrees?
It sure is cold but bright out there.
