Friday is garbage day for me, we recycle and compost so every 4 or 5 wks we have a big bag of garbage. It was almost 7 am and I was going to take it down in the car but all the windows were heavily frosted, it was still quite dark but I ccould hear the garbage truck coming so I walked down my very long driveway hoping that I didn't see any wild animals so I came back to get a fire going and saw a mouse trap was flipped over with a mouse looking at me, I couldn't smack it over the head yak. It was trapped by the back legs poor thing. I got trap and mouse outside and found two 8 or 9 inch spiral spikes of some kind that my husband had here for something anyway I held the trap down with one spike and sprung the trap with the other. I checked later and it was dead. Another reason I like to have my husband working at the shop so he's home every night. Then I went to town to check the mail and pick up a few things at the grocery store, barbecue chips for hubby to go with his pizza and on the way home I slammed on my brakes to avoid running over a cat but on the positive side at least I have brakes so I missed the cat, the mouse died so it's not suffering anymore, my husband will have his chips and I'm not smoking over any of it, life is grand without a cigarette in hand, no way no how is smoking allowed.
