Three not-so-blind mice

A mouse has been visiting our patio every morning for the last few days. The dogs watch it as if it might do something interesting, or they might be magically transported outside. It is a cute mouse. This morning I was watching it adoringly, telling it how cute it is. Then there were three mice. One in the bucket of gardening supplies, one rummaging in the leaves the third looking for seeds dropped by the birds. Now we have a problem. The management sent out a newsletter telling people to keep their garbage picked up to prevent a mouse/rat problem. We have no garbage on our patio, just gardening supplies, a fire pit and bird feeders. I don't want to chase the mice away but I don't want to get in to trouble either. Perhaps if we stop filling the feeders the mice will go away. Or maybe they'll stage a revolt and begin eating our garden. Meh, we'll figure something out.

After looking at various pictures of mice it seems like they are house mice. I don't know if that is good or bad. Maybe its neither.
