Of Moles and Men

Rick C caught a mole in his gopher trap. Moles are insectivorous, so while he wasn't really a crop pest, it's ok to get rid of him anyway.

You can tell he's a mole because of his big front paws and weird little nose.

I'd bought pussywillows from Safeway a month ago, as a bouquet. They had begun to sprout nicely, so I clipped them and put them in a space near the tub. They'll get plenty of water there.

Here's Rick with the new pasture pen in action.

It's so great to have the hens out on pasture. They agreed, and were quite happily muching grass and bugs.

Here the guys admire the pen.
