re: #286 allegro

It looks like someone fed the neighborhood squirrels uppers this morning. There are 5 of them tearing around at a shocking rate of speed out there. Zoom! There they go again. LOL

The little buggers have been busy in my neighborhood too. I have a huge blue spruce in my back yard. It seems the squirrels collect the nuts from around the rest of the neighborhood and then come to my yard to bury them in the ground under and just out from under the tree. There are a hundred little places in my yard where you can see they’ve been active.

A couple weeks ago, I built a mound that helps keep downspout runoff from working its way back to my foundation and also covers a couple of the corrugated runs from those spouts as there is no easy way to connect to the main runs I have that go to the street in the front and down two sides. The back yard is flat so I couldn’t figure a way to bury the corrugated pipes and have them work. So, I made the mound and have it covered in mulch until I can plant some stuff on it next spring.

Last Saturday I look out my big window in the main staircase and there are two squirrels digging that nice fresh dirt and burying walnuts.

Hey, I never have to aerate my back lawn. The squirrels take care of it for me.
