Of Mice and Men

We decided to barbecue some steaks for the first time this summer. We armed ourselves with a pail, rags, soap and water, got the barbecue out from the shed and... saw a mouse poke its head from the grill. I don't know who was more surprised... Paul took out the gril slowly and saw that the mouse had made a huge nest out of the pink insulation of the wall we opened up this Spring when we thought we were going to set up the sugar shack in there. We needed to make a hole in the wall for the vent so the steam would get out.
The nest looked very comfortable - large and soft and warm - something like a pink cloud. It took up about a quarter of the bottom of the grill. The vent holes were dutifully plugged.
There was just one thing to do: we put the barbecue back in the shed and headed for the oven. Good thing too, cause it's raining.
Now to make sure she does not adopt the barbie as her own...
