Since I haven’t posted a critter picture yet in this new volume of the picture of the day yet, I figured I better use a photo of my friend’s favorite critter. The chipmunk might not be on my favorite list since I am missing two marigolds and one petunia when I watered today. And several other pots are missing a lot of dirt.

The dang chipmunks are taking my sunflower seeds and burying them in the pot and the seeds sprout. So then they don’t have a stash of seeds and the birds didn’t get their seeds either. I thought I would try putting something around the shepherd hook pole they were climbing to get the seeds and I found a piece of plastic tree wrap and had it dangling down on the pole. But that didn’t stop them since it was just the right size for them in crawl through and it created a safety ladder cage instead for their climbing. I can’t win against them and you can see the nice digging toes they have. Now if I could only train them to dig the weeds instead of my flowers.
