Our squirrels are madly preparing for winter. Although the weather people say it won't be a bad one the squirrels seem to disagree. We have a huge oak tree with tons of acorns. The squirrels are constantly running about with them. Edwina sat in the yard yesterday just watching them! I've asked her to talk to them -- "bury your nuts in the garden, under the trees or in the bushes, but please....quit tearing up my grass!" It's like a bunch of rude golfer passing through. I'm forever replacing "divots."

They are so intent they run within a foot of me sitting there as well. Yesterday a black beauty was at work when another squirrel ran him off...."My turf!"
We've got the same thing, except with chipmunks. Yesterday Terry and I were sitting on the patio and the little devil was so brazen as to come right up to us. He sat up on his hind legs, chewing or rearranging whatever he had in his mouth and just looked at us. We both sat real still until he ran off, then burst out laughing. He was so comical, and didn't seem the least afraid of us. He sometimes sits right on the back step.....




I don't mind him being around, but he digs up my tulip bulbs.
