Holes!

Since August, 2014, holes have appeared in the southwest garden. It is grub territory there and I decided to remove the gardens, giving back the land to the animals who once and still...traverse it.  I have seen every forest animal imaginable here during the day and the night.

Each morning when I would hang up the bird feeder, I checked the point, the area where the holes are dug.  Each morning I fill the holes.  The same thing would occur a few days later.  I would go outside in the early morning discovering more holes.  Now, the holes were also found along the front of the house as well as the right side of the house.



The photo above was taken before forty of the large evergreens were removed.  It is much cleaner now; more light shines through the windows. The views are long range.

Today, I added some color to the point.  I may add a firepit.  But there is a strangeness here.


I was sitting on the peach Adirondack chair this afternoon soaking up some much needed sunshine and reading The Last Child In The Woods.  After texting a friend a few photos of this area, I placed one leg on each of the arms of the chairs to ensure a nice tan.  As I was reaching for something on the ground, I dropped my left foot.  Instantly, I felt an electric shock.  Looking around for a snake, bug or something to explain this sudden bolt of electricity, I found nothing.  After examining my left foot for ten minutes, I still found nothing.  Remember, there are holes all around the legs of the chairs.  I have not filled them in.

The curious thing about this area is that to the right and close to the front of the house the ground is cracked.  Cracked as though there were something holed underneath.  The only thing that has changed was the the paving was removed along the perimeter of this side, on the cliff edge, some three months ago.  The cracked ground appeared only this week. It does not seem to be affected by rain.

In the evening, it feels as though something is being constructed under the land.  The attic makes strange sounds, the walls do, too.  It has gone on since I returned home in January, 2014.  I do recall slight noises a few years before that but nothing to the degree that I am hearing now.

Even the last few nights, the noise awakened me several times.  Could it be a...
