I don't know why the Beast would be surprised but he was. It's the start of winter (regardless of what anyone says) and we have a couple field mice now. One is in the house itself, the other is out in the garage. Those are the ones we know about. So today the Beast got some glue traps since he got worried about Baron and the way he was reacting to the Dcon. I think the glue traps are cruel but I'm not going to argue about it. The spring traps are awful, too, since you can hear them snap and they often strangle the mice. They just want to be warm like us. But they carry disease so I don't want to share my home with them. They also do things like chew into the dog food in the pantry (and who knows what else they may go for?) and into the bird seed out in the garage. They climb and pee and poop all over your cans and boxes of things. Not nice to have around at all.
The house mouse got bold and ran out into the living room when both Baron and the Beast were out there and then under the TV stand. He stayed there for a long time. The Beast never saw him move and could still be there now for all we know. He WAS under either the washer or dryer last night so he gets around. Catching them will keep the Beast occupied for a while now.
The Beast got a thrill today because all of his bird feeders were occupied with multiple birds when he went to check them. There were also a couple cardinals and blue jays. That was a shock to me since I didn't know they stayed around during the winter. Unless these are just lazy....LOL. He counted almost 40 birds on his six bird houses when he was outside. I just said to him that once he started the feeding of them, he was going to have to keep it up all winter long and probably during the spring, too. We'll see how he does. He's usually gung ho on things like this at first and then his interest fades. I hope he doesn't do the same thing this time.
It looks like my son, Mustachio, isn't going to make it down for a visit. He had a lot to do with his move and he also had to renew his license plus his car plate sticker. It's been a minor disaster for him in some ways but I know how it can be. I'm disappointed, of course, but I do understand.
The Beast's bean soup has done a job on my intestinal workings. I have been breaking wind like crazy. I hope it's over by tomorrow. LOL!
I've been playing some games online by Iwin and I am shocked at how much time passes when I do that. But I have completed all the ones I started over a week ago and they don't have any others that interest me so I will be playing my Jewel Quest game again when I am not on VW.
It's down to 26 degrees outside, which explains why my little heater has been having fits with it's turning on and off again. But it's kept me nice and warm so I won't complain. I have no idea how much colder it's going to get but I will be nice and warm under my comforter so I don't care....LOL. Love you all and I hope you are keeping warm too. Say a little prayer for the people in the San Francisco area that are suffering under torrential rains and flash flooding after a severe drought. They may need the rain but not all in just a day or two! ***Hugs***
