I was just standing at my kitchen window, waiting for the water to heat for my oatmeal, admiring the flowers in our "cottage garden", when all of a sudden, my beautiful snap dragon, teeters from side to side and then whoosh! It was gone! I ran outside in my Jammie's and bare feet, grabbed the nearest sharp object, a butterfly net, rammed the handle down the hole! RAM RAM RAM! Then covered it up with dirt and rocks. This creature is turning me into a barbarian! POISON! POISON! I said to Franz as I phoned him on his cell phone. Bring home POISON! Our neighbour down the street sits on his porch and shoots them with a pellet gun. It doesn't do any good. But it makes him feel better. He said he was relaxing on his lounger in the sun, when a family of four just walked past him with their noses in the air.

What is it?
there is nothing worse than gophers. they have cursed many a lawn in our lifetime. they suck BAD! Sorry you have to deal with them. My father in law said it helped him when he would kill them he would bury them back in the hole so that nothing could come up that hole again--also maybe drowning the holes?? I'm not too much help since I rarely even touch the grass outside.
What happened to the "perspective?" Besides, aren't gophers trivial, innocent, and let's face it, a little cute? :)

P.S. Moments like these have given fame to viral videos. I hope someone was rolling film when you were yelling "Poison!"
