I stepped out onto the back doorstep this morning without noticing anything out of place.  After getting the baby goats some alfalfa hay and goatmilk for breakfast, I returned to the cabin and found this surprise waiting for me.

I scooped it up and brought it inside for closer examination.  I knew immediately what it was... a gift from our farmcat Taiga2.  Each bead on the string of 7 is the size of a kidney bean.  Of course, I had to open one up to satisfy my curiosity.

So here's a closeup of a tiny vole fetus... love this stuff!
