Making his list and checking it twice
The warm weather has brought the squirrels back out. We have some potted flowers on the steps of our porch. Something in them attracts squirrels, who come up and dig in the dirt and sample the flowers. They only have a bite or two and apparently don't like the taste because they toss the remnants onto the step.
It irritates my wife in that way that only squirrels can. She treat the dirt with red pepper and that kept them away for awhile, but when she watered them, it washed the pepper out of the way and they returned. More pepper. Then more water. Then more squirrels.
Then more steam coming from my wife's ears.
Me, I've written down "BB gun" on my wife's Christmas list.
