Unwanted Guest...

...we have an unwanted guest staying in our backyard...it's a mole!!! Shadow has caught some in the past so I let the doggies stay out back yesterday for about an hour or so (it was so beautiful) and I looked out back and saw this:

Usually we would not want him to dig but in this case, GO SHADOW GO!!! I didn't walk out there to see if he got it because I didn't want to deal with a dead mole-eww!!!

Tonight I tried a new recipe for Pumpkin Chili. I didn't quite get the right chili taste so it wasn't great. It was decent but it wasn't anything I'd be like, "OH! Let's make that again!" Matt was afraid of it and he wouldn't even eat seconds because he said, "I didn't care for it." Oh well, you win some and you lose some. Tomorrow I'm making sauerkraut and polish sausage for Matt because he loves sauerkraut so I hope it turns out better than the pumpkin chili.

We have moles in our front yard...I hate it!! I hope your dog took care of them for you.

My landlord just put in a bunch of mole traps. I feel bad for the little guys but I understand how fast they can destroy a yard!

Sorry about the mole...that sucks! We've never had a mole before, but I think I'd be encouraging my husband to shoot it, lol!

You didn't use the mole in your Chili did you? That might affect the flavor :)

What time is din din? I LOVE me some kraut and sausage. I am soooo jealous. My fam hates it.

We occasionally have moles too - if I could figure out how to post pics I would post a pic of my Sassy and Ginger digging to China to get them!!

Please don't kill the moles! They are God's little gardeners. They do an important work underground.
