Topic: Squirrels in the news
I am a dirty girl. Really dirty. I spent most of yesterday digging holes in the ground in order to plant things. In the process of planting things I got dirt on me. Lots of dirt. So I am now a dirty girl. A dirty girl with four new phlox clusters in her rock garden in addition to a big new hosta. I also began planting some of the seedlings that I started several weeks ago, mostly the dwarf french marigolds. The celosias are not quite big enough and they shouldn't be planted until June. My rock garden now has four flocks of phlox. I guess that's better than phlox of seagulls. And way better than flocks of ravenous squirrels.
Saturday was Heather's shower. There weren't as many people as we had hoped, but it still went fabulously. I guess I could have invited all my cousins. There was plenty to eat, much of it gluten-free and by the time it was over I was stuffed to the gills. The shirt I made looked fine. Not much else to say, except what every party should wants as it's final words: A good time was had by all.I have a few pictures, I will post them tomorrow.
And now for a squirrel story: A couple guys from Lincoln Nebraska were soooo tired of rogue squirrels chewing through their brake lines that they decided to take matters into their own hands and chase them down with bows, arrows and blow darts. On their own property this would not have been a problem but they took the chase to the streets, where it was a problem, at least for local law enforcement agencies. Here's their story.
LOLsquirrel, and a very genteel and polite one at that!
And that's all for today. I have a bit of cold or something. Off to recover while knitting the last bit of my socks. But first I need to stop being a dirty girl and clean up. I think there's still some garden dirt in my hair. Later.
