calling any one from missouri

[SueT]

I finally have a justified reason for being irritated by people who leave their porch lights on all night every night! View attachment 2120725View attachment 2120726

Yet another reason to leave the lights off! We love dark skies! Speaking of which, meteor shower happening for the next few nights, the Aquariids. Especially good to view right before dawn. If you are awake, and it's clear, go out and look up.....

27% of Butler county is out of power at the moment. A short severe storm passed over after my nap. 11,791 Ozark Border customers are out of power, that's 32%.

We have a border collie Jack Russell cross female who has worn her front teeth down tearing out sod so she can hunt down voles and moles in our pastures. She is sure death on them so we try to give her free rein. On occasions she will catch a mole which is very impressive because I discovered that Missouri grows moles big enough to climb the Empire State Building and swat at planes that fly by. I mean these things are HUGE!

I was born in IL and my husband and I adopted Missouri 11 years ago. We love it here but I tell ya, Illinois moles are dwarfs compared to the ones here. Field mice too!

I am a little behind on this thread, but I gotta say this is the truth! My cat brought in a mole the other day almost as big as my shoe! Okay, I am exaggerating but not by much. I am not normally a screamer, I am the one who calmly takes care of spiders snd snakes around here, but I was shrieking to get DD to help me deal with this thing. I did, but I almost "dealt" with the stupid cat for bringing it in, too!

Sorry, I guess I already ranted about this cat and mole thing. Blush.

I know.... this is not as nice to look at as a giant spider, but it’ll have to do, lol

I think our new cat might just work out... I walked around the back of the house and saw her pounce on something...

I held my breath hoping it wasn’t one of the birds from the nearby feeder... but it was a vole, which our yard is overrun with.
