How adorable are these mice!
I just found them in an Asheville shop - part of an early
display of Christmas items.
The fact that there were girls and boys, dressed in
trousers and flirty skirts, with cute tails
and perfect mouse ears, made a purchase of just
two quite easy, and not expensive.
My biggest fear however is that with the cold weather now settling in, the
real mice may be back before I can shake a stick set a humane mouse trap!
Sad as it may be to catch them this way, I cannot have those little nightly
visitors running around the cottage. We've stuffed all access points, around pipes,
back of stove etc. with copper mesh but, as the exterminator told us, a teeny mouse
only requires a tiny 1/4" opening to get through! The house is on a crawl space,
apparently they come up from there, so traps are set down under.

We didn't spy a single mouse for the first twenty five years we lived in this house,
now, for the past several years, they seem to enjoy sharing our home, especially
during the winter.
Any tips for sending those tiny creatures on their merry way are welcomed, thanks.
