Thanks for the daylight saving time Bonnie, chat was almost late on Tuesday night as we put our clocks forward this Sunday so there is one extra hours difference this week, two hours next week. I'm ON it...lol.

We had a mouse plague years ago, like you I hated killing them but did so anyway, self-preservation in our case, they did so much damage. So I killed as many as wanted to come into the house to reach the trap.

Glad the goat encounter did not leave you with permanent scars, we need you well and happy to be our friend and guide here.

Sue.

Bonnie - glad you're healing from the goat encounter (a take off from science fiction perhaps? lol) I had to chuckle when I read the one little mouse looked like he was smiling. I don't think I would've been checking out his furry little face to see the expression lol. I agree with you about the snakes - I don't do them well either :nuhuh: I think you've hit on a good way though to rid yourself of the little varmints. I feel sorry for all the outdoor critters BUT that doesn't mean I want to share my home with them.

It seems hard to believe that daylight savings time goes into affect this coming weekend. Since I haven't had to do it for 13 years, will take some time to adjust to it. But like everything else, we will :laughbounce:

Bonnie,

You live the country and there are more critters around than in suburbs and cities. Your blog made me laugh as I remember visiting my parents years ago now. They also lived in the country. My Mother was complaining about the mice. I pointed out she lived in the corner of a corn field.

But, I know you enjoy many things about your property. The good news is that soon it will be colder and they will disappear. Fall is the worse time of year for mice.
