I just got word that squirrels were rampaging in my kitchen this afternoon. I had just made a batch of cookies last night and they broke in through the screen, gnawing their way through, to get to them. Ariana and I saw the little bastards on our back upper porch last night, peering in at us. After discovering a tiny cigarette burn sized hole recently, she speculated that maybe the squirrels had done it. I was skeptical but did consider it. People in my house have a history of feeding the beasts so they’ve gotten comfortable. The large compost out back only encourages them more.
I’m a little frustrated about the incident for a few reasons:
a. I just swept and mopped the kitchen.
b. I had to go buy flour just to make those dag-blamed cookies last night. And I stood in the kitchen for nearly 2 hours making them - my oven doesn’t fit cookie sheets so they were all made on a small pizza pan, used over and over.
c. The caretaker has admitted all along that her previous history of feeding the squirrels was a mistake and we have to watch out for them, just kind of annoying that the circumstance is as stands in the first place…
