Well, I’ve got good news – and I’ve got bad news.
The bad news is, squirrels don’t give a rats ass about marigolds.
I came home from running errands this afternoon to find this guy checking out my berry patch loot.
I didn’t want to believe it was true, so I stalked him to see what he’d do.
Sure enough, in he went! See? He doesn’t care about marigolds! Freaking squirrel! Why don’t you just pick a bouquet of them already and be done with it, you… you… SQUIRREL.
Eventually he took off, but no worries – I stayed right on his tail.
Boy, I’m really feeling like the Squirrel Paparazzi right about now.
And yup, I caught him. Red handed.
(Had that berry been a bit more ripe and I could have said “Literally”.)
Would you look at him! In Squirrel Euphoria! Eating MY strawberry! That dreamy look should be on MY face!
Totally defeated at that point, I cut my losses, packed up the little one and off we went to the farmers market.
Because the good news is, not everyone has squirrel problems.
I wonder what the squirrel signs in their garden say? Back to the squirrel drawing board.
Hm. Do you have a cat, or better yet, a dog?
LOL looks like you have a new pet!
LOLOLOLOL…I LOVE your posts!!! SO funny!!! Maybe set some sunflower seeds out for him and he will leave your patch alone!!!
I’ve actually read that before – keep your squirrels fed they’re more likely to stay out of your garden… if only they had some black walnuts.
Haha….such a cute post! Although I can totally relate to your irritation, because I have issues with squirrels too. Thank God for farmers markets.
You would DIE at the antics I used to observe between my husband and a squirrel.
and this was between 2 homes.
He’s like Elmer Fudd chasing that waskerwee wabbit!
glad the market had some berries for ya!
