I went outside this morning and discovered that on one of my Peony plants that had about 20 potential flower buds, at least a dozen of them had been snapped off, chewed and enough petal evidence left to make me cry this morning. Squirrels and chipmunks are my problem and I am ready to start target practice.
I was googling Groundhog Gun and Varmint Gun yesterday. We have a virtual Meerkat Manor or Groundhog Gardens at our farm. Dozens of groundhogs. Ill see if I can get some photos of their dens. I have not noticed any in the garden so far this spring. Then again, they like beans and the beans have not come up yet.
I may have to get some serious firepower. I also noticed that we have a firing range within a mile or so of the farm. Super.
Sarah wrote this terrific story about our family's two cats and I wanted to share it with all of you. I encourage you to use the full screen view so you can fully appreciate Sarah's work.
Enjoy!
Don't have the official mileage yet, but I finished 18+ this morning in 3:14:30. Thank you to everyone who sent good luck wishes via the comments or email!
Exciting news - we'll be adding a new family member in a few weeks - a chocolate lab. Lots of discussion about potential names, so I figured I'd get some input from all of you. Please vote on your favorite name, and let me know via the comments if you have any other suggestions. Quizzes by Quibblo.com
