Learning new things

Hello,

I was quite impressed with the young robin pictures that we had taken so I suggested to Leroy that we look at them on the TV which has a 1080 psi rating. We were both amazed at how good they looked. Leroy, who was controlling the mouse, could zoom on the feathers and we could see the center shaft and the feathery wisps on them. He told me what the pixilation was, but I forgot. It was quite good. In FB where we could not control what we were looking at the result was not so distinct. Guess we will have to do this more often. We are pleased with the camera and the TV. The picture that our landlady had taken with an IPhone, of us and the bird, was not as good.

We learned that there is some oregano in the community garden. It was discovered in the weed patch. Leroy thought it had never sprouted. It was small, but quite fine.

I believe that a bunny is living in our garden on the front lawn. At least I have scared it out several times. The good thing is that it does not seem to be eating anything just hiding under the cabbage leaves.

New mouse traps are highly sensitive and a bit scary to set. I had an extended poop conversation, which included eliminating methods of the pooper, at the store when getting these traps. I decided not to be humane, but just kill these mice. We were hoping that it is mice in the attic leaving poop around at various places. However this morning, no mice were in the traps and all the peanut butter seemed to be undisturbed. What now? We both think we have some old traps, but cannot imagine where they might be. We know that mice got caught in them so would it be better to put them out?

Life is full of mysteries great and small.
