Living in the mountains, we have problems with rodents getting into the cars. They chew wires and hoses, and build nests out of insulation and upholstery, often in the partially inaccessible ventilation system. One of the methods we employ to prevent this is a natural rodent repellent called Fresh Cab. It works pretty well, but only for a short while. Recently, we went to the extreme of putting one inside the vent system. Now, granted, this was two or three months ago, but here was the result:

Yes, they chewed up the rodent repellent and made a nice nest out of it. Guess we’ll have to replace it more often.

This morning, Gracie was outside while a group of deer was grazing through. We couldn’t see Gracie, but could tell where she was by the direction all the deer were looking. At one point, she was surrounded by FIVE young deer, all peering curiously at her. (The one on the far left, you can only see its ears.) Wonder what she was thinking.
