One of the most lovely side of living here is the nature. Nature still wild enough to take over our 'humanly' ways. We have very often tiny guests sharing the house with us. Little country mice as small as lemmings, with a soft grey\brown fur, a short tail and the most precious rounded ears. they are very well behaved, they come in only when outside is really cold. They have two or three 'entrances' and come and gather food and play ( yes they play !!! They love to roll small objects on the floor ). They never climb over tables or kitchen to steal left-overs but only collect what is on the floor ( and let me tell you, with 7 people in the house, of which 5 'youngsters' there's always plenty ) and bring it in a safe place. Usually the safe place is in some corner of the house or near one of their entrances, but lately we have found two rather funny niches they have been using ....
One morning my husband tried to put on his shoes and it was filled with food ... we checked all of them and we found a second pantry ... always in one of his winter shoes...
In a small toy-box, again food and some wool taken from a 'stuffed' toy- garlic
Smart little things they are ...
