Of Mice and Women

Okay, this is a non-stamping post….so you can move on if you don’t want to see pictures of nature and stuff!  Yesterday was a glorious day in Pennsylvania---finally the sun came out and I got cozy with the other John in my life:

I was merrily mowing along the west side of my house when something popped up from the grass---I squealed and so did baby mouse:

I ran to get my camera, and he was still there when I got back, but boy did he run:

and run some more:

and try to hide:

Finally, I let him run and he hid under some leaves under our maple tree.  I went on mowing; about 20 minutes later, I was mowing along the south side of the house, near another maple tree and he jumped right up from under the leaves and scared me again!  This time he ran up the tree:

He was quick; it was hard to catch a shot; we played hide & seek:

And finally he won---and I lost sight of him!  What a riot!  I also snapped a few photos of my flowers:

Ooops!  Just kidding---wanted to see if you were still awake!  Thanks for humoring me and allowing me to share my little backyard nature event!
