Moles, flowers, and stuff

Not only are the rabbits under attack but also the moles. Came home yesterday afternoon, walked out in the yard to see the siding progress and noticed a long sizable mole tunnel. Did the old flood the tunnel trick, watched him come to surface, pitched him out of the tunnel with the spade, adjusted his neck, and tossed his remains into the field. All while visiting with the neighbor lady about the best product on the market to get rid of moles. This is Ma's version of catch and release. Keith arrived just in time to see the famous mole toss into the back field. The "boys" could not help on this one as they are confined to the house during the siding work (gates/garage doors open and they are underfoot). They only take brief jaunts out in the yard to do their business.
Hosta blooms. All of my hostas bloom throughout the summer and this is by far the most beautiful. The color of the foliage and the flowers are such a nice compliment to one another. Caught the yellow Gerbera Daisy opening up. Thought the spiral "fingerlike" petals were interesting. (Double click on both for details).

Off to Mass this morning, then to the school most of day to help get packets ready for school enrollment, (in between coming home to medicate Rowdy, let "boys" out to do their business, check on siding progress, etc.)

Please stay healthy, be safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom
