First, we had a not-so-hidden morning guest… IN OUR BEDROOM! Somehow a beautiful owl found its way into our abode, presumably chasing mice, and perched itself very nicely on our armoire. I have an unfocused shot of him (?) that I’ll try to post with this. (Oops, later edit maybe) The owl was about 9 inches tall with a 2 foot wing span. He was so calm; he quietly flew through the house stopping in our room to watch us sleep. Michael came in and chased him out of our room, but not the house. He escaped into our attic through one of the boys’ room open ceilings (no drywall yet), presumably to eventually escape through the outside attic opening.
Next, we finally cleared out the nest of our resident mouse/rat. Wow, what an incredible variety of stuff we found! A dozen copper pipe fittings, a pen, a screwdriver, a wrench, a sock, 2 pair of undies, a pound of dog food, a lot of fiberglass insulation, pen caps, pencil, water bottle, a solar flashlight, and two boxes of matches were in the stash.
