He caught the second mouse yesterday. I rescued it and took it outside but I think it was on its last legs – so to speak – when I managed to get it caught in the mouse house.
Finished the binding on the quilt! Now I have one more to bind and Christmas presents for two people are done.
Autumn Lights festival
This morning we went to the Autumn Lights Festival. Got a good amount of exercise, saw some nice pottery pieces that I may indulge in later, crocheted and knitted items, the local High School band in their kilts and lots more. Dearest of course bought books from the Friends of the Library.
I was not too thrilled to see our local police force displaying guns and armor. Just didn’t think that it was appropriate for the occasion.
The Highlander Band coming & going - at least someone wears kilts in this place!

"I was not too thrilled to see our local police force displaying guns and armor."
I thought it was disgusting. What an appalling example for the kids! -- law enforcement ain't about brains, squidlets, it's about being Rambo. I was shocked, to be honest.
"I rescued it and took it outside but I think it was on its last legs"
You mean you couldn't tell if it was squeaking or croaking?
*commenter prepares bed in outhouse as start of amends for that joke . . .*
Beautiful colors that you captured.
And speaking of capturing, what is a mouse house? Please don't tell me it is one of those sticky floored things where they starve to death *shudders*
And loved seeing the local author!
A mouse house is a container - usually coffee - and lid that I use. I get the mouse into the container - sometimes not easy - and then I take it outside and release. I usually mark the tops of these things "Mouse House"
