first mouse

caught our first mouse

Plan A – we chased it around the counter area
thinking to catch it in an empty yogurt container
this was not going to work

Plan B – position a cardboard tube (postal mailer)
at the edge of the counter
one end over a wastebasket
drive mouse into tube (easily done)
mouse falls into wastebasket

worked like a charm,
let mouse go in yard

bigger challenge – secure house from mouse
