Ahhhhh my minions. You have all been telling me what squirrels are doing to your lives. Well, I think we all have seen their silly goings on. Leaving stashes of strange things in place of our usual plants or in my case this weekend I found multiple stashes.
Yes!!! Multiple stashes of pecans in empty flower pots that I had lying on their sides so the rain water would not collect in them. There were little dried leaf nests inside and at least half a dozen pecans hiding in the nests.
If I hadn't decided to clean the courtyard of all our neighbors leaves, which was nearly half a foot deep in places, I tried to get David to go out and clean it by making subtle hints at all the leaves. But tha'ts like watching paint dry.
So I went out before the sun broke through the clouds and started cleaning the place up. I had moved the humongous planting cart David made for me this past spring over by the back fence, sucker liked to weigh 5 tons. Moving it was pure torturer, but I got it done.
Then I went back to sweep leaves into a pile but there were piles of neatly hidden pecans nestled in leafy nests. As I moved other things I found all their nests all over the place. So now I have made the back courtyard accessible to the puppies too. Everyplace a squirrel nest could pop up, the puppies can also get to. That should keep the little buggers out of there.
I also told the woman next door that there may be squirrels getting into her attic crawl space. I noticed that they come and go from her front eaves over her front porch. I don't know if she will do anything about it cause she sneered at me when I told her. So be it. I was just trying to help.
Well after all my hard work with the courtyard, David came from picking up leaves from the front yard, noticed I was doing all this and said " Don't overdo it woman!"
Say What!?? Don't over do! Heck, ( I think you all noticed that I have cleaned up my language), if I don't do it, I'll be watching leaves pile up to the windows. ahahahhaaa "Don't over do it!!!" I was ready to smack him for that remark.
Anywho, I feel a bit sore but none to wear. I sort of feel great to tell you the truth. The courtyard is pretty and clean again. The squirrels are really upset this morning. Yes my minions I can hear them cussing me out as I write this post. The puppies are going crazy whining that they need to go out and hunt squirrels. But I think instead I'll just open the blinds and watch as the squirrels are hunting for their stashes of nonexistent nuts. BWAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHhahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahaaaa!!!!

The squirrel pics are too much! They seriously have me laughing out loud!
Yes, the language cleansing was noticed... The curious minions are, well, curious as to why? Did someone threaten you with soap? Because we will SO go kick their @$$...

Your ongoing battle with Le Squirrels is too funny.
BTW, wanted to let you know I have honored you with an award. Come check out my bloggie, The Olde Bagg
Love that pic...my hubby actually made one of those squirrel stands with table and chairs, and they do sit on the stools! Our table has a rod (nail maybe) that hold an ear of the hardened corn on the cob. They love it! My dog is just dying to catch one of those squirrels! Alas, a dog can dream, huh?! Now, I just need to buy my yard squirrels a mini deck of cards!
