Don’t ask, I have no idea. It was in one of my folders. I have a rusted tin man in my backyard, I’ve had him for years, I picked him up somewhere in my travels… I don’t know where this one came from, but he is a beauty. Someone, somewhere had a lot of fun putting him together.. Creativity what joy it is to behold!

This morning I was awakened by “noise” Quincy was being active, then I heard his food being scattered all over the kitchen floor…I tried to tune it all out, but wasn’t successful. When I got up to see what all the fuss was about, he was sitting innocently enough but was intent on one of his toys.. On closer inspection, it didn’t look like something I’d gotten him.. then it hit.. it was a teeny tiny little mouse. Aggghhhhh, no time for eeks and such… I froze in place myself. I’m 5ft.3 maybe, wear size 7.5 narrow shoe… this wee thing was maybe the size of cotton ball.
Quincy was toying with it. I had to act… I raced out to the back veranda and the recycle bin, grabbed an empty cottage cheese container and its lid and came back, Quincy was now batting at the poor thing. I used the empty container to capture the mouse, and took it outside .. it will have to fend for itself in the wet world outside. What a way to start the day.. it wasn’t even 5:30 a.m. yet.
How is your day?

You have excellent taste! He’s a cutie pie – put a smile on my face!
keep smiling gf, it is good for the soul. waves hello!
Pretty sure I took that picture during one of the Grand Rapids Art Prize days.
And that was SO nice of Quincy to show you what a good mouser he is, and also how you should go about getting your own food. Obviously, you don’t feed him good healthy food… 🙂
great thanks for identifying the tin art.. and Quincy is doing OK. thank YOU! we are having freshly cooked smelts today,
Fast thinking on capturing the mouse. However, a good mouser is a handy thing to have around the house. 🙂 (I keep thinking of the mess they made in your car.)
YES!!! I learned, I bought more moth balls the other day and I am repeating the treatment. I think it was squirrels that got into the garage that did the damage..
Very creative metal man!
waves… thanks Eilene….
