Spring!

"Then the clouds part,
Swallow soaring between;
The spring is alive,
And the meadows are green!

I jump up, like mad..."
-Edward Fitzgerald-


Go ahead, jump up.  
Spring is here!


Happy Spring!

Our little mouse...

It seems we have a mouse in our house!

via

This mouse seems to stir after the sun has set.

It creeps around and often finds a stair to curl up on --

a place to listen and watch.

Tonight our little mouse toyed with the handle on our bedroom door

for many minutes before we noticed.  

Our doorknob mysteriously moved up and down very slowly and methodically.  

This little mouse creeps around everywhere we seem to be.

It is ever-so-quiet and often we don't notice.

Until...

It softly peeps:

"Mommy, Daddy, can you tuck me in?"
