I saved your life!

Anyone who knows my husband knows one thing....he loves his lawn. He double and sometimes triple cuts the grass in the summer and it looks awesome. This past summer I found one dandelion in the yard, took a picture of it for proof, and that poor dandelion was gone within hours. I didn't point it out. He found it. Just like photography is my passion....grass is Ryan's. He graduated from MSU with a degree in Turf Management and is the Superintendent for one of Michigan's finest courses. It is in his blood.

So, today I was in the basement playing with Carson when I saw this little black head peeking over the edge of the window. My first thought was it was a poor little bird stuck in the window well. But, I remembered then that it is winter and the birds are scarce around these parts.
It wasn't a bird....it was a mole and he was eating a hole through our screen because he was caught in between the window and screen.

Moles are really bad for grass. My husband loves grass. So, my husband HATES moles.

I had to do something! So, I pushed the screen out so he could escape, took a paint stick and preyed the little mole out of the hole. He is free!

Ryan came home and I was telling him about our cute little mole friend. He didn't like my story at all. When I brought him downstairs to show him our little friend we discovered there were indeed two little moles. Carson calls them Holy Moleys. :)

So Mr. and Mrs. Mole, I saved your life which is not a good thing in the Osborn house. Please move on to the neighbors now.
