blossoms and vermin

One morning I walked outside and decided that Spring has arrived in Phoenix. I know, because our dwarf peach tree had blossomed.
Now to await patiently for the peaches to grow.
Then another morning I walked out the back door to be greeted by . . . a dead roof rat.
Although I'm not too fond of our cat, Noel, she is a great mouser. She just calmly leaves her catch for us, as if to say, "Look what I did!"
I'm just thankful it doesn't happen too often.
