How Much is that Mousey in the Window?

Yesterday afternoon, the kids and I were sitting on the couch downstairs watching television and waiting for Julie to get home. All of a sudden, Ella started pointing and waving from my lap. I looked up just in time to see little shrew scrabbling around the outside of the window.

Little critters tend to tunnel under the snow this time of year. This one had apparently burrowed out a nest right against the outside of the window pane, so the kids and the shrew and I all sat in our livingrooms and watched each other and the rest of the TV show together.

The Wireless Canuck

I finally managed to hook up my wireless router last night, which means I can now blog from any room of the house (so look forward to the occasional future post from the loo!). Thus, this is my first blog post from my laptop, put together while comfortably seated in the livingroom.
