Visit from Tycho

Tycho is visiting from NY for a meeting and hanging out with us for the weekend. He's as entertaining as ever. He's decided that everything we do must be documented, so we've now got lots of photos from the last two days.

1. A mouse somehow has moved into our kitchen. It looks more like a pet mouse than a pest. We can't catch it, but Tycho did snap some photos of the critter.
2. Another mouse, being eaten by a snake, seen on trail between Muir and Tennessee Valley beaches.
3. A lizard.
4. Tycho
5. Us


UPDATE: House mouse caught & released into the wild around 9 pm last night. We caught it fairly easily in the end, then put it in a box. It was more curious than fearful, making me think again that it was a lost pet. But it seemed unlikely that we'd find the owner if there is one, and no one in our house was particularly interested in taking care of it. Anna's rat cage was long gone, so we had to let it go.




Nature red in tooth & claw.
