Ever heard the saying,...
"Making a mountain out of a mole hill"?
Moles tunnel beneath the earth. A surface opening to a tunnel is often marked by a little pile of earth, a molehill.
A molehill is not very large, but it is shaped like a mountain. A person who makes a big fuss over a small matter is said to be making a mountain out of a molehill
Well that's all fine, but this is a mountain to me.... I'm trying not to go overboard and whine & cry about it but my beautiful yard is being butchered by a little critter called a mole.
Even my neighbor man understands the gravity of a mole in a lush green yard. Here he is attempting to put a pitchfork in the little menace, I'm pretty sure he missed , or else there's more than one of them.
In which case I've stepped it up and made a visit to Ace hardware today, I purchase this bag of MOLEMAX
Which will hopefully take care of this ridiculous rat
This mole has created a mountain in my mind, It's not a small thing to me no matter what that old cliche' says.

So despite my sad yard issue i still have my pretty little asters which are just beginning to bloom :)
