The Battle is Real!

Not cold, not snow, not wind seems to stop the irritating visits by small rodents in our yard. When it warmed the past few days, mole and vole destruction was evident near the flower bed. Several traps have been set but I have yet to stop one.

On a smaller scale we have a continuous supply of mice. This mouse succumbed to the force of spring steel when the rodent went to work on a kernel of corn. Turn out the lights…the mouse party at our house has ended!

This mouse has been offered to larger predators to help them through the winter. I really don’t care whether it is a fox, a hawk, or a bald eagle that grabs this snack. Please, take it away and then come back and hunt the living critters!
