[My] Life in Wisconsin

Moses and Meeces...

Good Morning All;

I had taken the above picture on one of our trips down to Froedtert... On the way down there to comment upon how the further south we went, the more fall colors we saw. Odd that way. On the way home to notice that there was even MORE color 3 days later. Usually we have more color, earlier, than southward. Must have been for the lack of any decent rains.

Back to Flintville now... To be in the high 70's and lower 80's for the rest of the week, (or so they say now anyway). Lots more sunshine today, and will get the garden cleared off, and maybe some Autumn decorations happening too. (I told Casey this is HER job because I do not have the decorationg sense of a mouse)!

Did someone say "MOUSE"?

I am thinking that "I hate those meeces to pieces"...

... I brought out my recycle bag yesterday, (from the garage to the old milkhouse), and under where the contractor bag had been was all that chewed~up something~or~another. No, they have NOT signed any leases giving them the right to invade my garage or my home. And I know I will have to put a few cubes of poison out, (and keep all eyes on dogs while they are out and about)...

Yes, I go through this every year 'bout this time... Notice I never complain when they move out come Spring??? By then though, it isn't an issue of having them move out; (the ones that had managed to get in have hopefully all gone to that big mousetrap in the sky)! hehehe

Punk thinks the mice are for her entertainment pleasure alone. And isn't too big of a mouser. We even stopped at the Humane Society to find a cat, but you cannot touch a cat for under $120.00. HOLY MOSES!!! I almost died to see those pricetags...

So, I shall have to show Miss Punk how it's done then. She can watch and learn! (And as long as she keeps her snout out of the mousetraps, all should be well). hehehe

There's the dog... ........ There's the door...
"Um," ..."Where's the mousies???"
.
"Would someone PLEASE let me out?"
.
.

I shall try to take a few pictures outside today... Maybe a "before~and~after" type of thing to see if we really DO make any progress. Somedays outside work is like spending a whole day cleaning closets and such; you KNOW you have been busy, but can't even see what difference you have made either...

We made one heck of a difference at breakfast yesterday though. A bit of Polska Keilbasa (Polish Sausage), and a few small pancakes too!

Mmmmm... LOVE those blueberries!
.

And so I am off, and outside in a little while. The Casey~Kid and The Punk are still asleep, so I shall go check on a few of you before I go then...


Have a grand Thursday!!!

XOXO
Anne
