From my back door ...
On a morning when I walk in the kitchen to brew a fresh pot of coffee, reach up to the shelf where the coffee canister resides, startle a tiny mouse who was hiding behind the canister, and who then scurries along the shelf, makes a daring Mission Impossible type leap down to the countertop, disappears behind the crockpot, reappears peeking out from behind the toaster, then base jumps from the countertop to the stove to a chair to the floor and races out the open back door, all within the space of about six seconds, I let loose a semi-involuntary yelp, almost drop the coffee, and exclaim alound, even though there is no one around to hear me: “I think I’ve had just about ENOUGH of life in the country!”
Then I turn around and see this view out my back door.
Well ....
... hmmm.
I guess maybe I can tough it out here just a little longer ...

Worth putting up with a wee mouse for :)
Had one scoot down inside my jacket once when I was lifting down a bale of hay....that was exciting lol
Yikes! Our tiny ones have gotten a little bolder about coming inside as the weather has gotten colder, but so far they've at least kept their distance ...
And yes, all this beauty out here IS worth putting up with a wee mouse now and then :)
Your cats are falling down on the job ! What's up !
Me.
Your mouse story definitely was a good morning shock. Luckily the mice have not found a spot in our home but we have mountain lions living here in the wooded foothills. I cannot walk to the barn at night without thinking about them. You do have a beautiful view.
