A daffodil sits forlornly on my backyard patio. Stripped of its outer papery covering. No other sign of life nearby.
The squirrels have struck again.
This morning I rushed out the door without stopping to install a fresh ear of corn in the Squirrel Cafe nor did I slather peanut butter on the bare corn cobs hanging from the squirrel bungee. I only tossed a few peanuts on the patio.
The squirrels are punishing me. They dig up a bulb. Then they drop it in a prominent place, so I’ll get the message. If don’t serve a good enough breakfast, watch out!
They don’t eat the daffodil bulbs. They don’t like the taste. Besides, if I didn’t know I was being punished, what good is it?
It’s amazing that I can grow any daffodils in my yard.
As much as I like squirrels, you got to stand up to your bunch of blatant extortionists. It’s terrible how they treat you. Get a cat!

Cats are too slow for our little speed demons. Anyway, the little tree rats are too cute.

Yeah, I know cats are really too slow but at least it remonds them not to take you for granted.
