Oh, Rats!

Oh, Rats!  And I mean that literally.   Our backyard was filled with a symphony of bird sounds this summer until I was lying on the hammock one afternoon and saw three huge rats feasting on seeds dropped from our bird feeders.  

We poisoned the rats, but then this week when I was hand watering our tomato plants, a little mouse ran across our garden.  Bob set up mouse traps and four were caught.  I absolutely love little mice in story books, but in the garden --- Arghhh!

Goodbye doves, quail, sparrows ...  We'll miss you!

We just returned from a fabulous 42nd anniversary trip to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone.

Yes, the first night we slept in a sleeping bag on this tiny bed I am sitting on.  The second night we stayed in the cabin Bob is standing in front of in a nice soft bed.  This was a spontaneous trip, so we didn't have reservations.  So that is why we had such a cozy first night.  We had a wonderful time, and yes, the bear was right next to our car!
