Don't know if that was because of a dog, a cat, old age, or too much booze (which is what it kinda looks like). In any case I agree with your conclusion, that there's not really any way to keep them out of your yard so you might as well try to appreciate 'em.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513394224102833095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-90572664516402803262016-09-10T08:58:15.244+02:002016-09-10T08:58:15.244+02:00Well done Bert!
We found Daisy chasing a live mole...Well done Bert!<br />We found Daisy chasing a live mole around the garden when she was quite young. She yanked it out by the tail every time it tried to escape back into the ground, poor thing. Like you, we find mole hills very annoying but have a wheelbarrow load of goos soil that has come in very handy.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
