yard goodies 2nd edition

Oh goodie. Look what was scampering around on our pool cover the other day! It probably fell in like many of his comrades do, but managed to get up on the edge of the floating cover.

           It politely turned to get its best camera angle. Say cheese!

 And then it scampered on ... hoping to get away. But alas, the Reptile Rodent Wrangler scooped it up and with one fluid motion flung it over the fence.

The young spectators were not happy with his flinging skills. They thought a "cute" wet mouse should have been let go more gently. Me? I'd prefer not to see the beady eyes staring at me when I least expect it. Or, the thought of one dashing across my bare feet after dark gives me chills.

Sorry wet mouse, swimming is not really your thing, but that half-gainer you did over the fence was pretty spectacular!

Post edit: Leah reminded me that she gave this little rodent a name. I should have used it for my post title, but forgot.
Desperado.
