Food Chain

Outside, my orchids are starting to send up flower stalks. The garden is begging me to learn to make escargot, but in the food chain of life, I would rather feed the snails than eat them.

Mice, I might rather eat, if they look like this:


Niece Alden made this adorable mouse with my mother in-law. A chocolate kiss head, almond slivered ears and a maraschino cherry dipped in chocolate for the body compose the start of an infestation of the most delightful kind.

Merry Christmas! May the holiday- whatever name it goes by in your home, be magic!

  1. To answer the requests for info on the eyes- decorator frosting from the supermarket in white and black. Pink frosting would also make a cute nose.

  2. I hope you don't mind me using your image of a choccy mouse for a daft tragicomic poem. Please let me know if you would like it removed. If you don't mind, thank you very much. If you do mind, please email me on uprussia2004@yahoo.co.uk and I'll move it as soon as I see the email.
    Thanks whatever the outcome,
