Say goodby to Rizo Ratzo

As much as I have enjoyed fooling around with pine needles this past week, the time has come for this little Rat to be on it's way - these pine needles can be a fire hazard after all.


Here is a view of his left side, before he goes the way of all pine needle rats.

Oh, oh - the vacuum is on...rats!


oooooh... nooooooo.........

and now, all that remains is a ghost of his former self. RIP.
