Last weekend, when arriving at the farm, we opened the shed to get tools and look things over. Under the front end of the tractor was a pile of gray fuzzy stuff. I reached down to feel it and determined it was chewed up foam rubber......like the stuff lining the inside of the engine compartment of our new tractor!!!!! I mentioned it to Jeff.......going ballistic doesn't quite describe his reaction. There was a LOT or stomping and ranting and words I won't print here. We decided we should look under the hood......but how to open it was a mystery. While Jeff went to look at the "tractor instruction manual", I opened the door to the gas tank. Staring back at me was "the mouse"!!!!! I don't know who was more startled....me or him! I shut the lid, then opened it again and he was GONE.....poof!
Jeff came back and opened the hood and right on top next to the filler tube was a little nest, all nice and cozy. Now came the threats of 1000 mouse traps, 10 cats and rat snakes. I say, just leave the hood open so it's not so cozy! Gotta admit, they are very cute!
