has been started. this one is of a mill in West Virginia. really nice fall colors, but that will be the downfall of us. the mill structure isn't so bad, it's the multiple hues of oranges, reds, and yellows that'll make us dizzy!
mouse...well, a dead one.
a few hours ago, i was kneeling on the floor, looking for something on the bottom shelf of a bookcase when i looked up and spied a little brown mouse who had just stopped in his tracks, on his way to the kitchen. sooo, little mouse, did you have midnight reservations in the kitchen? were you going to dine on the most haute dog food (mini chunks)? or were you wondering how you were going to get on top of the computer desk, where my candy is stashed? oh, you'd love it...chocolate truffles, gummi bears, chocolate mints, and assorted hard candies. there's enough sugar up there to put you into a hyperglycemic trance...for weeks.
i'm sorry that you found the cream cheese so tempting though. hopefully, you were killed instantaneously when the trap sprang and bwoke yer neck. in the trash you go...
anyone have other sure fire baits for mice? an exterminator told me that the most foolproof bait is peanut butter on a cotton ball - works every time. 'course, there was no peanut butter in the house, so the cream cheese performed fantastically!
lois knew a chemist in texas who had concocted a chemical bait mix that basically dried up the mouse from the inside...weird huh? i guess that prevented the smell of a dead, rotting mouse that is wedged somewhere. wouldn't it be plain spooky to find a pile of mouse dust though?
