I waited one day too long to take a picture of my sunflower! The first thing I heard from the husband the morning was:
“Honey, you won’t like this! You’ll be mad at the squirrel but he has your sunflower”
As I grabbed my camera I shouted: “If I can’t have my flower at least I’ll have a picture!” I got two
He looked me straight in the eye and dared me to come get it.
Sunflower down
Sunflower up! In a splint there are still buds on the plant. Any ideas how to keep them safe from the wily beastie?
I guess I should file this under my own Prompt from yesterday of Ripening. You get critters when who want to share your crop when things ripen!
Lol I wish I could help. I am not laughing at you, just with you. I have given up planting sunflowers. I love them, but except for guarding them 24/7 I have no idea. Great photos.
I’m laughing, too! He really is teaching us the meaning of “trickster” I did get a picture to be proud of. 24 hour guard Hmmm I hope there all in London this week
Thanks for the concern.
Carol, this is SO FUNNY. You and this BRAZEN Squirrel. What a great story in pictures and a few words. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Brazen! Good word. They look so innocent Ha! Thanks for stopping by. I like seeing your face
I enjoyed the story and photos, too. And as usual, I want to help. There are a bunch of tips at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080718081604AA4D7Xk. My favorite is the rubber snakes.
Rubber Snakes Yes! Do they have them at the Dollar Store? Field trip! Thanks for the tip
Really good pictures Carol. We have so many of those “stupid” squirrel’s!! Mary gets so mad at them because she tries to feed the birds in the bird feeders and the squirrels can get to it somehow. Guess they aren’t really “stupid” then are they. lol

No matter what I do they get into my bird feeder, too. Tricky little devils is more like it. Happy Birthday again
Like your “when life gives you squirrels take pictures” post…
Squirrels are always one step ahead of you, unless the deer get there first
Thanks for sharing.
