Sunday with Squirrel Nest

[wyld_dandelyon]

So, they predicted wonderful weather until the thunderstorm hit. So, we thought, we'll clean up the yard and plant bulbs

Braver than me!

The one time I found a dead squirrel in our basement (squirrel + the neighbor's powdered laundry soap), I made my husband deal with it.

(I don't do dead animals)

Luck on your garden!!

LOL

I feel much braver for going out on the well-sloped porch roof to hold the ladder than for dealing with the long-mummified partial carcass.

It wasn't even much of an allergen any more. The nest-mess, on the other hand...I can tell my sinuses are not happy with me, even though I took my medicine and bathed immediately afterward.

Urgh, allergens. My sinuses are clogging just thinking about spring!

One middle-of-the-night our babykitty (10 years old, still the baby) woke us up quacking. "Mom! Mom!"

I stumbled out of bed to find him squawking over a dead mouse in the kitchen. "Mom! Mom!"

He wouldn't shut up, and at 14+ lbs, he's a LOUD kittie. I made my so-nearsighted-he-sees-only-blobs-without-contacts husband wake up and throw out the mouse, because I couldn't stand to touch it.

I'm a wuss.

Hee hee!

That's what paper towels are for. You touch the towels, they touch the mouse, and then they get thrown away too!

I hope you didn't have too much storm damage & were able to get your bulbs planted eventually.

[wyld_dandelyon]

We didn't have storm damage, though when the storm blew in I not only felt the house shake, but saw the Windex rocking in its bottle. And most of the bulbs got planted a couple of days later.

Now, of course, they're predicting snow for tomorrow. It shouldn't stick, but I'm glad tulips and daffodils and the like are not inhibited by a little snow!

[red_trillium]

Yep, fortunately daffs and tulips don't mind the ocassional slight chill! Stay warm. We're cold here, Antarctic blast coming up the country with the storm that's hit us and I broke out the heaters for the first time this season.
