Hubby was out in the yard cleaning out the kids pool so they could for a swim. He was out there quite a while so I figured he must just be doing a really good job.
After quite a while, he came in and says "Look what I found under the kids pool". I go out there and in a planter buckets, he's got a baby mole. He said he had to move the mole because he didn't want to squish it under the pool. (City boys do not realize that moles live underground and he probably only came up to hear what all the commotion was about)
So here this mole is in the bucket. Okay, a mole..real excitement there--I went back in the house after making over the mole.
Hubby gets the pool all done and says "Okay let's go swimming!" Out we head.
The kids swam for a little while and I sat there thinking about this mole. I don't know why..lol
As we are fixing to head back into the house, I asked Hubby what he did with the mole. He says he put him in his veggie garden (that he had been babying for the last two weeks) because he thought it was a good place for a mole.
I am trying not to laugh and thinking to myself "Darn right a good place, like the Garden of Eden the little pest."
Then, I had to tell my husband what moles do in gardens. He just shrugged so we went in the house and apparently Hubby and I had the same visions of this little mole eating tomatoes plants, herbs, and pepper plants because Hubby says "Ill be right back."
I peeked out the window to see what he was doing and sure enough, he pulled the mole out of his garden and put him back over by the woods a good distance from his garden.
NOPE!! You surely can't change a honest to goodness true blue city boy! :D

The differance with me would be, he would be buried in the woods, R.I.P., I have had too much loss and damage from rodents to be nice anymore, ( I tried, like your hubby for many years, and I am not a city girl ever). I hope the little creep doesn't find his way back, since he now knows where the "Garden of Eden" is, lol.

Too funny, Jessie! And how sweet that he worried over that mole! Nevermind that I'd have sent it to an early grave, too. We have mole problems and it burns my butt to see all of those tunnels running across the yard!

Ok Jessie,
Your story is really funny. I have a few in my family that give pests a little too much sympathy too. I am and aways have been a country girl. I was raised farming and around cows and some farma animals and look at life so differently than some. I would have killed the mole too. Your hubby sounds like a good gardner though. I took my little seven year old granddaughter fishing and she was concerned about the worms being hurt when we put them on the hook. When a little perch swallows the hook we have to distract her while we do the surgery. Let us know if the mole sneaks back in for a late night snack.
