Dirt Work

As peaceful as life is without cell service or a wireless internet connection...it can be a problem.  I forgot to pay the bills before we left on our trip, and being obsessive about details, I begged my husband to drive me in search of service.  We drove down the road waiting and waiting and waiting for a 3G signal.  Ten miles later we stopped.

In the meantime, the kids were hanging out at the camper.  As they sat at the table looking out the window at the beautiful morning, they noticed movement in the ground just a few feet away.  Fresh dirt was being pushed up.

Upon closer examination, they discovered a head popping out behind the dirt!

Evidently, he was adding on to his house!

After gazing at the sun, he disappeared again for the last time.

When we returned, excited voices were clamoring to tell us the story--complete with photos.

As I gazed at the freshly moved dirt, I felt a pang of envy that I wasn't there to witness the mole working.

Moral:  Look at what we miss when we are "plugged" in!
