Don't know if you remember, but Kathy at Spot on Cedar Pond and I have been having this contest in 2010. She and her husband, Jim, have huge moles that run amok under the surface of their lawn and garden areas. Tony and I are overrun with gophers digging holes and leaving big mounds in our lawn and pastures, too. With either one, a person could trip and break and ankle or something if you step on or in one of these huge mounds. So we decided to have a contest! The COUNTS are down on my sidebar, and Kathy also has one on her sidebar.
Well, guess who won? ME, that's who! And Kathy decided that I should have a prize -
Look what she sent...
I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS !!!
who even know that there was a game like this???
I think I can handle this game ok. Ages 4 and up...
See, it has these cute (?) little varmints - moles or gophers - take your pick. They pop up with little hard hats on - different colors - and when your color pops up it lights their hard hats, and you have to BOP them on the head! I just wish it was this easy to take care of our real gopher program!!! Kathy, this game is so cute! Isn't blogging fun! I've met some of the nicest, sweetest and FUNNEST people EVER!
Stay tuned to 2011's varmint contest!!!
In other news....
We got a light dusting of snow last week. It was nice, and didn't last long, so I hope that's all for the year...
It snowed more at the farm than at our own house! Weird... I'm ready for spring! My daffodils are trying to come up...
Nothing like the nice snow we got last year on February 12.
Have to get a pic of Princess shivering in the snow.
This one was kinda cool. I sent it over to PIKNIK to edit and made it kinda grainy.
Well, my friends. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I'm looking forward to meeting with all the saints for worship. I hope you all are doing the same. Have a wonderful Sunday and time with your family and loved ones. I'll ketch ya on the flip-side.
Yours truly,
THE VERMIN-ATOR

Love the Verminator--I need one of those :) The photos are beautiful-you have a gorgeous place :)
It is so appropriate the post ends near the picture of the dead groundhog in your sidebar.Congratulations again Vickie.
My husband was out setting traps again today, you should see the mole-mountains all over our place. We would like to start the count the first month of the new year, gotta get on it to beat you this year!
Your Princess is so pretty and the picture you took of her in the snow with your place as the backdrop is worth enlarging and framing.
The snow is so pretty, but like you, after a day or two of snow I am ready for it to melt and be gone.
HA! How appropriate for you to have that game!
LOL! The Verminator is too perfect! LOL! I just love it!
The snow pictures are beautiful! I'm off now to get myself ready to head to worship myself! Have a great weekend, Vickie, a.k.a. The Verminator!

:O) Absolutely love the gift. Very fitting, we too are having the same issue. Must be a Texas Thang. Hope you whack all the moles you can handle.
Many blessings,
Mal
Vickie, you and Cathy are the 'cutest thangs'......!!!!
