I Won the Battle, but Lost the War

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. ~ Bertrand Russell

THEY'RE B-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-C-K.....

Who?

The Cunning Voles of Doom.

Yep, that's right. They weren't gone, they just relocated. To the other side of my house...

So, while I was rejoicing that my old "vole garden" was coming up -- no damage to the bulbs and plants, YAY -- they were happily chomping on everything under the sun...er, snow... over on the opposite side.

Yesterday, the snow finally melted significantly on that side of the house. Today, I went to pooper scoop and saw this:



What? You don't see the significance? What about this?



Yep... VOLE TRAILS.

And, if you look closely, you'll see that they went into this garden:



The garden where I planted LOTS of new bulbs in the fall... none of which have come up. Vole Salad? Mostly likely.

It also got into a side garden and ate the roots off ALL my ground cover that was finally beginning to cascade over the landscaping bricks. It's still cascading, but it's DEAD. *&^%$ Voles.

This. Is. War.

Your Fashion Style is Classic



You like what's stood the test of time...

Simple, well styled clothes that don't scream trendy

You stay updated and modern, but your clothes stay in style for a while

You wouldn't be caught in animal prints, fake fur, or super bright colors



Yep... that's about right -- if jeans and T-shirts are classic.

I have trails like that in my back yard too. Fortunately there's nothing back there that I'm concerned about.

We also have groundhogs back there. Love them.

Good luck in the Battle Of The Vole

oh bummer, I thought you finally won against the voles.

Your Fashion Style is Sporty

You're a natural beauty who doesn't need fancy clothes to look good.

You prefer your clothes to be comfortable, so you can stay on the go.

For you, femininity is not how you wear - but how you wear it.

Still, don't be afraid to show off that great body in a dress or skirt!
I don't think so.

Have a good Friday.

Darn those voles!

Read your POV post. I prefer when there isn't head hopping, but with some authors I like them so much I just go with it.

Yup. I had to skip the famous person's closet question because I wouldn't know one of them from the other!

I wish you VICTORY in the vole-wars!

May you vanquish those vicious voles!

I, too, am a classic dresser. Must mean that everything I wear is very, very old.
