Well, saw my first mouse today. Ran across the living room and under the couch. And, no, I didn’t go after it. It’ll end up in the basement, eventually. So, the first real sign of cold weather has appeared. Now it’s time to put out the poison, start battening down the hatches. The outside work is almost done – still have a few leaves and vegetative junk to rake up, some trimming and cutting to do, but otherwise it’s done. So now the inside work starts – plastic on the windows, closing off the upstairs and bunkering down in the four rooms downstairs for the long winter.
Gotta love Minnesota…
