In contrast to my last post, it is not sunny, quite the opposite. We had pea soup fog this morning and now snow showers this afternoon. A day for staying inside by a roaring fire, which is where we are now, but did go into town to do errands and have lunch at one of our favorite places - the "W" cafe. It's a throwback with good, inexpensive homecooking, and decor hasn't changed since the 60's, I think.
One of the errands was to pickup more rodent bait. We have a new issue in the house. I heard scratching/chewing noises in the ceiling, looked up to where the noise was coming from, and fine little pieces of chewed insulation drifted down to the floor. GREAT! We have no attic and no crawl space up there, just solid insulation between ceiling and roof, so no access. How this thing got in I have no idea, but the two pest control people I have talked to, basically scratched their heads and didn't have a solution. We're putting down bait on the main floor in case it finds its way out of the ceiling.Maybe it will just go back out the way it came in??
One of our neighbors brought over salmon he caught in Alaska. He's a semi-retired surgeon in Alaska, but spends as much time here as he can. We don't see neighbors much since we're all spread out here, so it was a nice gesture. We cooked it a couple nights ago and it was fabulous. Had enough leftover to add to scrambled eggs for breakfast the next morning.
Photos are one view from the side of our house and the other, a great view that Mark took of the runaway horses.
The horse picture is so cool! I love all the pics you've been posting. :)
