November 28, 2016 Mice & Another Thanksgiving

The tarp over the girls' run.


Friday 11/25. A nice lazy morning.  Still digesting yesterday's feast.

Our only project for the day was to put a large tarp over part of the girls' run.  This will give them a larger outside area for the winter as they will not
 walk in the snow.

We haven't had mice in the house for at least a year or more, and now suddenly we have had two caught in the traps the last two nights.  Just not sure where they are getting in.  Doesn't make for a good night's sleep. . .

Saturday 11/26. It was 32 and overcast this morning.  And there was another mouse in the trap.

I made pumpkin-apple-streusel muffins to take with us to our second Thanksgiving dinner today.  I think that two dinners is quite appropriate for us as we have so very much for which to be thankful.  We had another wonderful time and again arrived home stuffed like the turkey.  Our high for the day was 40.

We watched The King's Speech this evening.  What a great movie!

Sunday 11/27. This morning was clear and breezy with a temp of 33.  Yesterday's mud was frozen and frosted.  The icy wind blew all day, gusting to 20 mph.  We had about a ten-minute blizzard blow through at 3:00 pm, but that was all snow we received until after dark.  The forecast was for 5 - 6 inches.

Again we had another mouse in the trap, but I think I have plugged up where they are getting in.  We also put some poison under the house.

I spent most of the day inside working on our Christmas card.  JB took the dogs on their two walks, and spent some time sorting and filing magazines.

The wind finally disappeared along with the sun and snow began falling again.  It was still snowing at 9:30 when we checked after watching the first three episodes of the first season of Arrow.  Our high for the day was 38.

Monday 11/28. It is 30 with clear skies this morning and about an inch of snow on the ground.  And another dead mouse in the trap.

Thought for the day: My last words regarding the election:  Good trumped evil!
