Super Squirrel
This picture is thanks to Boo for sending me here: http://loriflorida.wordpress.com/2007/03/10/super-squirrel/
When I went to the link I saw people talking about the damage squirrels do to their gardens which reminded me of my illfated plan to have my own little herb garden. One year I planted herbs in two different planters on the fire escape. I went to water them and I thought, "Hmm, that's weird I could have sworn I planted the basil in that pot." Didn't think too much about it. Next time I go out to water I see I have two plants with their roots shooting straight up in the air. "What the hell? Ok, that's just weird. Even I know which side of the plant goes into the ground!" I pulled the plants out and found peanuts still in their shell hidden underneath! Those little rascals!


Ok enough with the squirrels already I promise!

i'm imagining you...being like bill murray in caddyshack. With his obsession with the gophers.....i seem to recall, he did wear a hat too

Kelly, oh my gosh you are just too funny. You would have to bring up the hat! I see the 14th is this Wednesday. I'll be thinking of you and hoping everything goes ok.

Deb, I'm glad it helped. I thought it rather brilliant when I saw it. I don't know if you have ever been over to Boo's site but you will only ever find things that will make you feel better over there. She's on my sidelink if you're interested.

Deb, oh my gosh I just realized you are a different Deb. Well, welcome and thanks for stopping by.

That squirrel knows he is da bomb.

They really like bulbs too!

Toccata said...

Allison, it's the superman suit underneath that does it for me.

Barbara, oh no you've got the fluffy tailed rats snagging your bulbs?

That is hilarious...although that picture scares me. I'm pretty sure that's the squirrel that's bullying and "challenged" me.

Toccata said...

Hey there Deb, now that I know I'm not the only one watching ANTM we can compare notes on who we think should have been voted off.

Squiiiirls rock!

Dogga, that squirrel does all right. By the way saw the video. Pretty cool. I downloaded a new version of Internet Explorer and and have been having problems ever since. I couldn't leave you a comment because everytime I tried my computer crashed. Grrr! Yesterday I only crashed the thing twice!

Toccata said...

Kelly, stick to your day job!

Mellowlee, I know that picture is awesome. Kind of reminds me of your cat in the santa suit that you posted at Christmas.
