" 4. When did you last 'hit the mother lode'? What was it?
I'd say it was recently when Mr. Cranberry brought home a box of dishes he'd found on an abandoned demo site. I'm thinking he should load the mother load into the truck and take it to the landfill. Actually, I did keep a few, but not everything is a treasure, trust me. And it's not like Mother Hubbard's Cupboard is bare!
And I might not be so ungrateful if he'd not tossed three rubber rats at me - that he also found there. Scared me to DEATH!"

Well, well, well! It seems that Mr. Cranberry thought he could get even more mileage out of those three disgusting rats, so one day, when I was walking toward the house, I noticed THIS ugly ratiness on my lovely rusty (and so welcoming) barbed wire wreath beside the back door.
Look at that beady little eye!
And lookie, lookie! Evidently, that clever Mr. Cranberry thought that a rat would enhance my experience of retrieving the daily mail. Other people have sweet morning glories winding their way up the post. I know. You'd think the Adams Family lived here.
I haven't yet come across the third rat, but so help me, depending upon when and where it shows up, you might find our names in the local police blotter.
