Today was so lovely we just had to be outside. So after a busy day yesterday at the Beaveree it was washing and mowing day.
After daddy had mowed the lawn Callum got a rare treat - a ride on the lawn tractor. Steven sat him on his lap but the rest was down to Callum. Before I hear gasps of how dangerous, - the deck was up and the blade was off.
Then when all the cleaning was done imagine our surprise to find this little fellow under our decking shaking like jelly…
After the kids had poked and stroked it and Orson tried to stomp on it, we thought it best to move him to a safe neutral zone….. irony being that the cat promptly pounced on it after watching where we put it. This time I decided to give the thing a sporting chance and took the cat inside.

Your so brave to pick that up. Was that a mole? I feel so bad when my cats kill things. What makes me the most squeamish is that they bring them to me so I can see “how good they are!”
We’ve had a nice weekend too. Tornado’s yesterday but none touched down near us. We had the a/c on yesterday and today might need the heat.
Cheers

Yes it was a young mole. It was so amazingly soft. They do bite so we did have to be careful. My main concern was our youngest trying to stomp on it and when he pokes things its like a bull in a china shop effect….
