Back Home

It has been an interesting transition to home. Seems like the wildlife has taken over. Mice are the biggest problem with at least 2 generations in residence. They got into the pantry and ate through anything that wasn't in hard sided containers (pasta, crackers, rice). They also decided to stash their booty in amongst the sheets and towels in the linen closet so aside from emptying the entire pantry and throwing lots of staples and stuff away and washing every container and can we are doing massive loads of laundry. I am trying to keep in mind the old cartoons and see these mice as a game that we need to play for a while. We have trapped 3 so far and they have retreated a little but their days are numbered.

More disturbing was the gnawed and chewed fairly fresh deer leg that we found between our deck and garden gate, just a few feet from the door. Will try to keep my sense of humor about that one!

Thanks again to all of you and we are glad you enjoyed the trip too.
