Looks and feels like we won this one. I know, I know – billions of mice, two of us. However, Hal has spent so much time plugging up holes and setting traps. We have launched 4 carcasses back into the field as warnings and let one escape to warn his friends about us.
We are quite happy in our little routine – singing and drumming with our friends, tai chi classes, bike rides, the beach, Stone Island, and always little household chores and projects. Oh! And studying Spanish – no classes yet, but starting to recapture the verbs I lost over the summer.
Our friends from the “north” are slowly starting to arrive. It’s good to have neighbors. Especially those that speak English AND French. He he he….
Our garden is a daily source of delight. The coleus from WaterSpirit in Maine is so happy here. Same with the peppermint originally from Pittsburgh. The tobacco seeds, tomato seeds and marigold seeds are all happy little babies. The mother-of-millions that OOWah gave me are just cute little maids at this stage, but growing quickly. The stars of the garden are the two purple beans from the Maine council of women labyrinth. They are amazing. Right out of a Jack and the Beanstalk Classics Illustrated.
