Delivery day

8. of December today and “theminimice” from the apple tree woke up to a snow coated garden. “Perfect Christmas weather for us today. We will visit the mice families in the oak tree, the chestnut stub and the dollhouse by the currant bush. They all will get apples, cider and apple pies from us at the apple tree”, Saintpaulia said to her children. "It’s after all Christmas and what is more important than taking care of the people you care about. I am sure they will appreciate it".

They had a long day ahead but “theminimice” invited them inside so they could warm themself up by the fire before they went to the next stub. They got hot chocolate with cream, chicken pot pie and cheese with crackers. Luckily Rubus drove them home in his car late in the evening. They ended up being too full of treats, and too sleepy to walk home to the apple tree.

It all took place in one abanoed garden, but when you are a mouse, you are very small and a garden can seem like a very large place.

“When all the theminimice come to us they will surely get some of our delicious hot apple cider.” Saintpaulia said when she got back home to her husband Penstemon.
