War, Solitude and Pink

I'll deal with the first topic...War. I've officially declared war on my own household and the mice that are attempting to occupy it. I noticed there was a problem...well knew there was but noticed the degree of the problem one evening when I got out of the shower and there was a mouse running across the floor toward the small hole in the wall behind the toilet. I bought some mouse traps and in 36 hours I have now caught 6 mice in the traps designed just for them. I caught 4 the first night alone. Sorry I have no pics of the slain and fallen mice. I'm not fond of the diseased little critters that the deaf cat who supposedly knows sign language is failing to catch and consume.
Pink: For those who enjoy the color pink there have been several pink sunsets lately. One of them pictured here where the mountains were turned pink due to the sunset being reflected off the snow and the storm hanging over. Made a really pretty sunset even for a non-pink fan. =) Here is also another sunset pic that I took recent that was rather colorful. The water from the river running high because of melting snow make for a nice mirror. Just enjoying and sharing the beautiful creation.
Solitude: Something I have much of right now and I find it can be peaceful, relaxing, refreshing, lonely at times, beautiful and reflective. I've enjoyed some very nice bike rides out here. Out here with the Pronghorn Antelope and cattle. Well lets not for get the mice. But their not really in that refreshing and tranquil category. The thing I like about solitude is often times you can find yourself looking around and the bigness of God and creation. It can be stunning and overwhelming yet energizing and brilliant. I drove northwest of Pinedale the other day and got to see the Wind River Mountains up close. Majestic solitude. I wish I had my camera. Silver and blue mountain lakes and snow covered peaks mixed with fresh greens of spring busting out of the ground and covering the aspens with color.
Well I must go...
Until Dukey Drops Again........Much Love......
