So my hubs got home a little late last night and I had planned for him to
cook fish on the grill for dinner.
He likes to grill and is always happy to cook outdoors even when he works late.
We normally cook outside every couple of days but haven't grilled in over a week due to rain, travel, eating out, rain and oh yeah, rain.
He was going to light the grill before changing his clothes so out into the
dark, drizzling night he went.
We keep our grill completely covered when not in use.
Imagine hub's surprise when he uncovered and opened the grill only to discover that a mama mouse had made a nest down in the very bottom sometime this week.
And had babies.
Ewwwww!!!
Ew.Ew.Ew.Ew.Ew.
Don't bother sending me emails and comments telling me how cute they are.
They are not.
Especially not in the bottom of your grill.
He told me to come look but did I mention, Ew. Ew. Ew.
Not a fan of mice anywhere but especially not in the bottom of the grill.
So he had to remove them but before he could get the mama in the bucket she took off .
With most of her babies attached.
Ew.
Ewww.
I'm just not sure I'm making my point.
Ewwww!!
One little babe was left behind so hubs scooped him out and deposited
him in the woods where I'm sure he met his fate.
Circle of life people.
Then of course the grill had to be scoured.
Detoxed.
Taken apart.
Lit on fire.
Scoured some more.
Detoxed again.
Hubs was still in his work clothes.
It was drizzling.
Its really really dark here.
I had to cook the fish in the oven which I don't like to do
because it makes the house smell fishy.
Good times.
Things happen when you live in the woods.
Things involving critters.
It turned really cool here this week.
And when it turns cold, creatures who were perfectly happy living outdoors start looking for warm places to call home.
Remind me again why are we living in the woods?
Thank goodness I married a boy scout.
