Still Sick

Have been sick since the middle of November. Just yesterday I spent most of my time in and out of bed. It comes, it goes – sort of, mostly it stays. Pretty sure it’s stress and too much work that keeps it around. Taking off this week should help, but going to Minnesota next week […]

Big Feeder

Decided to try the big bird feeder again. I can’t remember when we tried this last, but I’m pretty sure it was before Abigail was born. The Starlings made it impossible to maintain, so we took it down. We’ll see how it goes this year. – b

Day Off

Took off most of this week. On Monday I finished the leaves finally and burned a little brush. The girls were happy to hang out and play with their “smoke sticks”. I was just happy to not be working. – b

Got ‘m

After resetting the trap with more thread the little bugger got away with all the peanut butter again, so I used a trap of a different brand. Same setup. Just a different brand. He’s no longer an issue. – b

Very Busy Mild December Weekend

The last two weekends were busy too, but I’ll have to try and get back to them later. This weekend started with another assault on the mice. Set 5 traps and caught 2. One of the traps obviously didn’t have enough thread wrapped around the peanut butter. I use thread wrapped around the bait to […]
