Just Another Day at the Hill House

If you live on this side of the United States, you know it snowed.

We got a good three inches, if not four. Fat, fluffy snow that makes the yard looked quilted. Stuck to everything, so it is lovely. It didn't get above 26 degrees today, so we still have it with us. I think the wind chill factor in the morning will be ten degrees.

But they promise a better afternoon, highs in the forties.

Of course I nagged   encouraged Husband to build a fire in the 'real' fireplace. It's been so very nice as we have taken down all the Christmas decorations today.

Right now the house looks like someone ransacked it, but it will take less than half an hour to have it looking pre-Christmas again.

During all this, we had company. He forgot his pants and left them in the living room.

You'd think as cold as it is outside....

AND

We had another mouse!

Have we become a mouse motel and no one told us? The drama ended when all three cats surrounded the tiny thing, Frost hissing at it (!) and all of them going in for the kill.

Husband jumped in the middle, caught the trembling half inch long mouse in a paper towel and took it down the road, into the woods on the other side.

I am sure neighbors will thank us profusely.

What a day!

Guess I'll go clean up the kitchen now.

Better that than help with the rest of the Christmas stuff.

Plus, I gotta find a place to put his pants.
