Thoughts on blogging and moles!

Well, as you can see I haven't posted anything of note. Blogging is all new to me. This was sort of a trial basis, to see if I had anything useful to say.

Today I spent time at home with my wife since I had a dentist appointment. I also got some much needed time in the yard. By the way.... I hate moles! My daughters and I had carefully dug up 100 or so jonquil bulbs from an aunt's yard. I had carefully cured them all summer and finally planted them last week so that the ugly blight of a hill would be bursting forth in glorious daffodil-dum in Feb. Man plans and God laughs. Apparently He saw fit to feed his humble digging creations a nice bulb fiesta. I noticed the ground looked a little more tilled than we had left it. A closer inspection revealed the tell-tale tunnels (alliteration!) of the terrible mole. THe tunnels formed a nice neat pattern mimicking the freshly dug rows of bulbs.

Now...I haven't even seen a trace of these little insectivores in my yard but plant a smorgasbord of flowering roots and suddenly I'm invaded. There must be a leak somewhere...It gives a new meaning to the CIA usage of the term.
