Nutty Squirrels

 "Lynn, what are those crazy skweerls doin' in my catio! I must git

out there and defend my property!"

Back in late February we realized that there was a 

nursing female gray squirrel trying to supplement her

food intake with any and all dropped bird food.

We soon realize what tree she was nesting inside of

and watched for her all the time.

She ended up with 3 babies that now have learned 

that bird food found is easy pickin's.

Precious was sound asleep about 6 PM in her usual

state of the evening.  All of a sudden we both heard 

this clawing on the patio door glass and other odd 

noise.  The vertical blind was closed already as she

and I were spending a long weekend alone and I have

to get the house closed up before we sit together.

This 15 pound girl with all her sharp claws launched off

my lap and flew to the back door.  I ran with her

and we managed to open the blinds just in time to see

one of the baby squirrels run up and down the screen door.

Then it ran around all the patio flower pots trying to figure

out how to escape.  It finally found the place where it's

head would fit under the wood fence frame and ran like

it's tail was on fire.

I scooped Precious up and we got back in our usual

position until 8:30 PM

"I will have no introoders in my catio.  It's bad enough

when those deer hang their heads over the fence."

One of my 3 astilbe.  I have an all pink perennial flower bed

for Angel Seney, and things come on one at a time.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.
