rat
Originally uploaded by average lavender
Under the porch at this other house is a lot of dirt, the furnace, the water heater, some rusty hooks, a weird cage thing (big enough for one rabbit to live comfortably in, but was apparently used for the ex-owner's vicious dogs), the barn & fence paint for the house, and this rat. It's completely dehydrated and in relatively good shape. Not only does he still have his big nasty teeth, but also his little claws and seven-ish inch long tail. We've joked about making a shrine to it down there, but it's so incredible I sort of want to get him mounted in a shadow box. Regardless, we think that after the renovations are complete the final exorcism will be removing this rat from the premises.
(Yesterday it was in the fifties and sunny, this morning it was partly sunny, by noon it was gray, by two it was raining, half an hour ago it was sleeting, currently it's snowing. What gives?)

You should totally make a little rat sarcophagus for it.

It's a little like the bodies of priests found completely intact in the catacombs in Italy (see this month's National Geographic), except its a rat, not a priest....
The house looks great! Hope the rest of your move goes smoothly!
Love!
