Today I started working on a new estate sale. Our client lives out side of town in the country, lots of land and trees. She has a big shed which holds 30 boxes of stuff she hasn’t seen in seven years and couldn’t remember for sure what was in them. Since it was a nice day we decided to start out there.
As I started to dig into the boxes there was a tell tale sign that each box has had renters staying in them…. traces of critters. We figured mice, considering the area we weren’t surprised. So, carefully we dug into the boxes not to run into something died or alive. It was sad, so much had been ruined by these little critters.
I picked up this big box and lifted the flaps up ready to start digging when low and behold I saw a tail moving around. I quickly put the flaps back down and ran the box outside and tipped it on its side. Out rain the little varmint. I decided to shake the box just in case there might be another little guy.. so out ran another then another. In the end there were five little mice running in the cold snow. They would stop and look back at me. I could just imagine what they were thinking. Ohhh nooo this snow is so cold on my little feet. I kind of felt bad for them . They were so little, and cute.
I am glad that my other friend that helps with the sales wasn’t there. I am afraid she would have passed out. She really hates mice. Actually, I have a lot of friends who have a fear of those little critters.
My grandma had a great fear of mice. She would be the first one to jump on a chair if she saw one. My grandma was a very brave lady, but for some reason those tiny weeny little mice would frighten her to death.
I myself don’t mind them. I am not sure I would have been excited to have put my hand in the box, not seeing them moving around in there and have one crawl up my arm lol… but I am not afraid of them. I think the tiny ones are cute. I have a feeling this box held five little babies. I am not sure where their mommy is .. hopefully not in another box I get into next time I work out in the shed.. lol
