Yes those are eaten away tracks. 75% of our back yard has been uprooted by mice. We found various nests that were hidden under the snow and in the small part where snow had not melted, a network of tunnels. Not to mention the couple of mice Kory chased with a shovel today. This is a common problem, at least on our street. However, last year we only had a small portion of our yard by the creek that had been targeted. Our hopes were high that if we watched closely enough our hard work in the back yard would be safe. Not so! Looks like another spring of replanting.On a much brighter note I have finally gone snowboarding! I have never done either snowboarding or skiing so this was an exciting day. And let me tell you, I am good! Well, at least I felt like I was doing pretty good for the last 15 minutes or so of our 4 hour adventure. The rest of the time was pretty miserable and I haven't been that sore well ever. I think maybe I will try again next year :-) I wish I had a picture of Kory with me to document this momentous occasion but I could not get him to pose with me! I guess you will just have to imagine!
I realized I never posted any pictures from our Christmas Vacation. Here we are on the beach in Delaware!

what? wHaT? WHAT? You posted? Holy smokes. Oh, and if mice had done that to me I would have thrown a major tantrum. There is no part of my body that doesn't despise them with a lot of passion. Grrrr! Obliterate them. Torture them slowly and do it where the other mice can see so they know who they are messing with. Grrr!
So sorry about the mice! That stinks! Way to go snowboarding! I'm sure you are a natural = ).
When my parents planted seed grass, the rabbits ate it as soon as is sprouted. They put LOTS of tobasco sauce around the perimeter of the grass. Where ever the sauce was, the rabbits didn't eat. They ended up using sod, but you might try the Tobasco.
we have a few of those tracks in our yard also...i think most of my neighbors do. They must be especially bad this year. way to go snowboarding...i bet your a pro now! olympics 2014?
Okay...seriously! I would be SO super mad about those mice. Yeah. Bleah! All that HARD work!
Welcome to the neighborhood:) This is our 3rd year of the same, and after trying Everything Else we're getting a cat. We'll share if you want:)
You guys should come to Boise and go snowboarding at Bogus!! It would be so much fun to go with you guys. Then I would take a picture of you and Kory for proof of you on the mountain!!
Wow you finally got to go snowboarding that is so exciting!!!! I love it but yes you do get sore. I am learning that when you go snowmobiling you get VERY sore as well. I am so glad that you finally updated your blog. I love seeing how the family is doing since I am stuck up in Rexburg by myself. sigh. All well I will live. Love you guys!!!
