Every year for decades I had mice that wanted to spend the winter in my house. I was constantly setting traps. Two years ago I tried one of those electronic things and no mice for the last two winters. The best $10.00 I ever spent.<br />Take care, thanks.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634892792170572719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-17312102110509381972011-04-09T05:09:39.154-05:002011-04-09T05:09:39.154-05:00And here I always thought TGIF meant, The Goose Is...And here I always thought TGIF meant, The Goose Is Flying:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-73903841137429135742011-04-08T23:49:31.186-05:002011-04-08T23:49:31.186-05:00Sorry you won't get a vacation.

I haven't made it yet but a friend went years ago at this time and found a jewel on every bush. A huge flock of hummers were there. Take lots of pictures. <br /><br />We hauled the trees home (volunteer home) as well as Patrick's baby wildflowers. That way, I'll be able to water them. And Steve, a new volunteer and I hauled water half the morning, then I hauled all afternoon. Then we treated ourselves to a visit to the High Island Rookery.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.com
