I'm more freaked out by bugs. Eeewwww.<BR/><BR/>As for winters, we had wonderful real bonafide ones in Ky. And all the other seasons were lovely as well.

I joked with my dad that I would drive until there were no grits on the local restaurant menus. ;) My husband and I are leaving for a pre-move visit to Ohio this week. Its a zone 6...with a little winter, but no avalanches of snow. Gentle hills.

Now that the cool weather is here, the mice are trying to come inside, and the last few nights our 2 cats have been VERY active upstairs! Warning, graphic material ahead: Our cats usually EAT the mouse, totally or partially (eeuw), but yesterday I found our little "gift" left at the side landing. <BR/><BR/>I had never had mice, until I moved to this house 4 years ago. When I first saw the mice, I would shriek a blood-curdling, horror movie type scream! My husband actually expected me to learn to trap the little varmints myself and to dispose of them!! Someone had to tend to them while he was away working. We bought "humane" traps that guaranteed a quick death, and I would wrap both hands in 2 or 3 layers of plastic bags to release the little corpse and put it out to garbage (yuck!)<BR/><BR/>Now we have the cats, and I'm so relieved to have them do my dirty work! LOL<BR/><BR/>You have my sympathy!<BR/>BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-24758042900994456942008-10-13T11:43:00.000-05:002008-10-13T11:43:00.000-05:00i am like you- i want a real winter! we live in te...i am like you- i want a real winter! we live in texas and it snows an inch or so i guess but we want to move to idaho for some real snow!!!<BR/>we have trouble with mice!! i HATE it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-44725675508283342242008-10-13T11:23:00.000-05:002008-10-13T11:23:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry for your torment, but I had to laugh....I'm so sorry for your torment, but I had to laugh. Picturing you up on top of the table, screaming. Truth be told, I'd be right up there with ya. And don't think those creatures don't find you in the city. Whilst living in the middle of town in a busy area, a family of possums took residence in my garage, one finding it's way up through a hole in the floor and making it's nest in my stove drawer. Thinking a mouse had gotten trapped, I opened it to catch the "little" guy only to be nose to nose with a foot long possum. I still can't bring myself to use the drawer on my stove. Oklahoma has some mild winters and hot summers, so I can't say you'd enjoy it here much, although I'd love to call you neighbor.lol. <BR/><BR/>Have a blessed rat free day!<BR/>saraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-5450377622836036512008-10-13T11:14:00.001-05:002008-10-13T11:14:00.001-05:00Ah, the joys of country living!

I've lived without electricity or fresh running water. I just ain't tough enough! Now we live in the suburbs and I thank the Lord every days for His good gifts. If the Lord called me to I could live that way again. But He hasn't and I am ok with it.<BR/>Forgive me for laughing, but I can so relate to how you feel!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947580832429520795.post-935623841085758112008-10-13T11:14:00.000-05:002008-10-13T11:14:00.000-05:00OREGON RATS...and I have them to.
