Magnificent Moles


I really hates moles. They tear up The Orchard Compound constantly. But today I discovered they are even more industrious, clever, malicious than I thought.

Almost all the snow and ice from the recent storm is gone, so I went hiking around our place. I'd seen mole hills in the snow but today I saw the tunnels they had been digging UNDER the snow! Crazy! With all the vegetation pressed down, you can see their tunnels that had been dug while there was still lots of snow and ice on top. The tunnels were not quite in the dirt, mostly in the grass and weeds. There is a deep hole there on the right of the image, but the rest were above ground. They were all over the place.

They may drive me crazy, but ya gotta admire their abilities.
