They'Re Eatin' Me Outta House and Home

I'm lookin' forward to the arrival of spring with great anticipation, With the bloomin' of purty flowers and much needed precipitation! All winter long I've supported the local squirrel and avian population! Word seems to have gotten 'round that there's free grub at my location! They're eatin' me outta house and home causin' me some serious privation! Hopefully, with arrival of spring them fellers will consider migration, Seekin' other climes for their foragin' causin' me much less aggravation! Robert L.

Hi Robert; This is funny. I thought you had reletives there. I hope you get rid of them soon. I once planted some Sunflower so I could get some sunflowers for myself. Well I was so happy - my sunflowers had grown real big. One day I came home from work and the squirrels had eaten all. Only the shells were left. Have a nice weekend. Lucilla
