mouse funeral
on our way home from the store today we found the body of horace (the mouse from last night) on our front porch steps. i am heartbroken. we held a funeral for him in the backyard, where we told our favorite memories about him ("i remember that time when ithought you were a cat toy, and then you weren't," "i remember when you crawled in my skirt," etc), read an excerpt from mattimeo (from the redwall series, which is about heroic mice), and sang him the mouse song from coraline to send him nobly on his way to mousehalla.
(picture not mine. it's one of horace's cousins.)
R.I.P. warrior mouse horace. we had only a short time together but you are in my heart forever. we'll always have paris the dining room.
♥
p.s. my bike huey ii is broken so i'm using jamie, who is a mountain bike, and pretty hard to handle. today is a sad day.
