Our houses are mostly built of wood, so there is no cooling effect as you might get with stone or brick. Many folks have had cooling systems installed in the last five to ten years because the higher temperatures are becoming more common. Our best seasons for getting out and about are spring and fall.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words, as always, my friend.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-9554686698370448132021-08-17T18:27:33.564-03:002021-08-17T18:27:33.564-03:00Still airing in both ways :)Still airing in both ways :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-2451182672280990912021-08-17T17:21:23.958-03:002021-08-17T17:21:23.958-03:00I am not sure but that smell is awful.

Better outside than in! <br />We had a 'rat' get into our garage here in ratless Alberta. After a lengthy and convoluted series of misadventures that included our town 'animal control officer' refusing to come because it was ALMOST the weekend and a series of 'local' calls that culminated in talking to a man in Mumbai, I finally got a trap cage and caught my little intruder. It was a muskrat. Vastly different from the rat I thought it! He was just so cute, I may have been guilty of begging Husby if I could keep him...Diane Stringam Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629946536985545457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-59874709800322121692021-08-15T08:49:27.030-03:002021-08-15T08:49:27.030-03:00This was such a beautiful post.

At least I hope so. If not, I'll be looking at doing what you've suggested. I wish I knew where they're getting in. Luckily it doesn't happen that often. This is four times in 33 years, so that's bearable.

Maybe I need to keep it emptier. I am concerned that there's more than one space where critters can find themselves trapped; in that case, they might never make it to the hole to get out at all. Relatively speaking, we haven't had it happen that often, considering we've lived here for over thirty years.<br /><br />Thank you for your good thoughts. I hope you and your family are recovering well.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-57331524858122515382021-08-11T00:11:40.248-03:002021-08-11T00:11:40.248-03:00Geo., I'm sorry you are having sadness there. ...Geo., I'm sorry you are having sadness there.
