Making a molehill out of a mountain By Franklyn Gallup of WoodFloorist.com I am sure you are familiar with the expression: He is making a mountain out of a molehill I refers to someone taking a small problem and making it into a HUGE problem. In Washington state we do things a little differently. We take mountains and turn them into molehills. See the pictures below. I saw these molehills as I was building a gazebo in Raymond, Washington. On closer examination I found out the moles had a pick axe and shovel. I then realized these weren't molehills at all. Someone was digging a drainage ditch for taking the water from the downspouts away from the foundation and keeping water out of the basement. I reflected on this for the rest of the day and thought how different a world we would live in if people focused on making HUGE problems in to smaller problems instead of making mountains out of molehills.

The moles seem to like this Japanese red maple

My discovery of the Pick axe and shovel. I become suspicious.

When you find yourself in a ditch stop digging.

The pot with the pond lilies causes the moles to change course

The moles have the house surrounded
