Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that Mousey Brown has now happily and safely relocated to a more appropriate environment. I tried to catch a picture as I let the mouse out of the bag, but she jumped too high and then ran too fast and all I caught were the rocks in the area into which I released her, FAR away from my building!

Shelley is still keeping me company here, of course. And I think that other than the soil that got everywhere from MB diggin through my plants, and the soil bag that no longer has one of its major edges or the cardboard box that can't really stand on its own too well anymore now that the corner seams have been chewed all to bits, it seems the only other real damage were the little presents she left for me... all in all, so far it seems she didn't do toooo terribly much damage while in residence.

And now that I've done nothing I needed to do this evening (and I mean really needed to do), I'm off to stay up late sewing and ironing and such... goodnight.
