The Good & The Bad

Sorry I haven't posted all the goodies from Vacation Bible School and the church homecoming. After all that pulling, tugging and toting I finally crashed with a sore back and bad knees. I have barely been able to get out of the bed for more than a few hours a day for several weeks so I am way behind but I will get them up soon.

The bad news, there are still a few mice in the house but I am slowly killing them off with new traps set every few days.

The good news - I have a new friend in the yard. I was sitting on the lounger outside and talking on the phone when a movement caught my eye. There was a long black snake slithering by the Ab Lounger and he went to the woodpile. (No I don't have the pump house built yet.) He slowly worked his way in and about 2 minutes later one of the mice came scurrying out. I hope he is stuffing himself. He is welcome in my yard anytime - just not inside LOL.

I had noticed that when I went out on the porch in the mornings I wasn't seeing so many mice running about in the garden and across the yard. Also I was seeing mouse poo in the dog dish less often. I think he has been around for a week or so. I have been keeping my camera handy the last few days and am hoping to get a pic soon.

Later
