Is that your shed or the house, because it looks like lures and baits on top the fridge... Your wife is nicer then mine if it's the house lol. Those wreathes would work on our porch with the use of the fern hooks. Better then the one always falling off the door.

Looks like trapping items on top of the fridge/freezer. Tall one in the middle is a pint of urine (about half full). To the left of it is a one ounce bottle of Hawbakers lure.

BTW - nice job on the wreaths. Looks nice - different than the flat ones.

VERY nice, Mrs. mole!

and, yes...you better hope you don't knock one of those lure bottles down.

two years ago, I dropped a full bottle of Spencer's Final Step onto a stone hearth...(I was SOOOOOOOO Lucky that day!)

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Very nice.

My kids made them when we lived in the mountains of North Carolina. They approached a pick your own tree farmer about selling them. He agreed to do it for $5/wreath, very fair. The next year in the spirit of Christmas he decided he wanted all the money.

This was.their first venture into capitalism.

Found another farmer with a smaller do it themselves operation who wouldn't take a dime. These.good folks obviously had a different business model than the first.

Very nice. Balsam smells great too.

Actually it's probably to cover up the smell of mole. He's old and crusty. laugh

I think the mid chain swivel adds a bit of old world charm to them.

That's really a different wreath; very nice.
