It sounds like you need rat traps near your hen house. Next time you go to Lowes see if they have any of them by brands like TomCat. Our neighborhood had a deer mice invasion years ago. When it was just the occasional mouse I just used a humane mouse trap and relocated the mouse elsewhere but when more mice showed up and it became a major issue for the entire neighborhood I switched to the lethal kind of mouse traps because it was all too much. Fortunately the neighborhood deer mice were gradually eaten up by neighborhood cats, foxes, racoons, and hawks and are gone now.

It's cloudy with just the occasional peek of sunlight, in the mid 50s, heading to the low 60s this afternoon with strong wind gusts. It's supposed to go down into the upper 40s tonight. I was too tired to go to the laundromat Thursday. I got quite a workout at my PT session yesterday plus shopped at Kohl's afterwards, so going to the laundromat this afternoon depends on how stiff and achy my joints are later. I bought another pair of capri pants and several summer tees at Kohl's.

Monday is my first appointment with my new rheumatologist so I need to sort out my paperwork with the medical test results and MRI reports to bring with me. A second set of copies will go with me to bring to my next appointment with my primary care doctor when I see him the following week. June will be a busy medical care month between my PT sessions and assorted doctors appointments. Beyond that it's just a weekend of taking care of the typical chores, getting ready for the busy week ahead, relaxing in front of the tv in the evenings and I'll probably place a grocery order later through Amazon for a smaller Whole Foods delivery for tomorrow.
