What's that, you wonder, that they're doing to that branch? Why, putting the recently-dead shrew that they've discovered in the grass on it for easier observation. Need I add that said shrew journeyed home with us and is now buried out in the backyard? Next year, Dante will harvest more than carrots -- he'll also dig up the skeletons of a wide assortment of animals. This shrew has a mouse, several birds, a toad, and a squirrel to keep him company. Not to mention the pheasant I spotted on the side of the road across from the pheasant farm on our way home from the Coventry Craft Fair... that poor bird gets buried tomorrow if the promised warm weather thaws the soil enough. Anyway, close up below -- see his cute little tail?
