In neat little piles, outside my back door
Sat a bunch of mysterious mounds
I’m not really sure what exactly they were
Only saw they were perfectly round
Went out to the garage to fetch the rake
Needed to clean up the mess, such trash
But when I came back, the mounds were gone
Seems they all disappeared, in a flash
Well, I haven’t seen them since that day
And so they remain, quite a curious thing
I’m hoping to never see them again, but
I’m sure they’ll be back, come next spring

We don’t have them here. Couldn’t think of anything else that would make mounds lol

Interesting. Don’t think I’ve ever encountered this – but isn’t nature grand, supplying us with these mysteries.

I’ve never had this experience either. I love how nature provides for any kind of critter. Even humans!! 😃

We have moles near one of the pitches at the rugby club but it’s quite incredible because they only dig up to the edge of the pitch and all around it but they never did under the pitch itself and we think it must be because of the vibrations from people running over all of the time

When they made the field, did they dig down at all? There may be a barrier to prevent the little varmints from creating a disaster area!
