JacquelineM drank Emperor's Red by Premium Steap

I am drinking Emperor’s Red in honor of Ashmanra’s mole!

I ate a protein bar with it – no waxworms or earthworms!!!!!

It was really satisfying despite my lack of worms. I think I’ve been very sloppy with my steeping parameters lately, and have been having weak tea! So I measured my leaves carefully, and made sure I did not put in too much water, and ahhhh! There’s my roasty, tangy friend!

If you haven’t seen this cutie yet:

Awwwww, thank you! After stuffing him with worms, he was released today and seemed very VERY happy! The blow of his departure was somewhat softened by the discovery and capture of a second summer mantis yesterday…

Oh how cute he looks!!!!

He was so soft and sweet, and chirped beautifully!

I hope he has a very nice new life, but I too will miss him!

I know it seems silly, but I had never really seen a mole. How cute is he!!!

mrawlins2 – that’s ok, because they have never seen us, either, as they are blind! They are so down in their tunnels they don’t need to see! They have supersonic hearing, though! Can you tell I became fascinated with moles since this? :) :) :)

Oh, and I must tell you….one of the cutest things you could ever see is a sleepy mole yawning! Their mouth is tiny and almost invisible until they yawn, and that long tippy “nose” curls downward and bends in a C shape as his mouth opens. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that! It is baby killdeer cute, and I don’t compare many things to baby killdeer!

We removed some patio boards this morning to study his tunnels! Amazing!

OMG how cute! I wonder if the boyfriend will let me have moles has pets. Although, probably it wouldn’t go well with the kitty plans…
