Fall at the Farm



Everyone measures seasons differently - some see the turning of the leaves others feel the nip in the air but for me it is the morning routine of emptying the mouse traps. It is not a task that gives me much room to pause but you sure can tell that things are changing when I get all three traps full each morning. You really have to keep on top of this issue or soon they will send out the word that your house is a nice place to spent the winter.


One amazing thing about a log home is most animals great or small can use the logs like a step ladder to reach heights that normally they could not reach in other homes. Mice also love to use the logs as a race track since the walls do not exactly meet the logs they can travel from room to room in such a cleaver way...


While you may be raking leaves or pulling out those fall sweaters I will be emptying traps... Oh, the changing of the season's here at the Funny Farm.

Luckily, our barn cats take care of the mice. And the indoor cats take care of any that do make it inside.

Log house freeway indeed. I have been emptying my traps as well. After last years mouse invasion I am forever on the mouse hunt. I'd like to know, just when WILL they build a better mouse trap??? No indoor cats for me, they would be doggie dinner.
