Re: OT: Squirrels

Since I am almost a month late in catching up on some email, I hope I'm not 
opening something that will cause any more unhappiness and misunderstandings 
as in the past.  But I just read Kathy's apology and explanation and I think 
it was outstanding and generous.    And it is a good example of how not to 
judge before  understanding the background or motivation.    I have no idea 
what Kathy's solutions were and I don't want to get into opening old wounds 
but I would like to transport my squirrels to whomever enjoys their digging 
up irises, the same one 5 or 6 times. I am fed up with replanting them and 
trying to understand just why they do that to that particular inoffensive  
iris!!  And I don't enjoy having them chew a way into the birdfood can so 
that I have to keep the food in my house so I have to carry it out  to the 
feeder.  Nor do I enjoy having them hanging on the perches so theybreak off 
due to the heavy weight they were not built for.   The birds  do a service in 
catching the insects not wanted, and I enjoy watching them and I miss the old 
man who used to live behind my garden and who enjoyed squirrel pie so that he 
helped keep the population down for awhile.  But everyone to his own, I 
guess.  
The life you described, Kathy,  sounds wonderful and adventurous and brought 
back memories of my trip to Alaska, such vastness of space - one of the last 
opportunities for the pioneer, almost wish I was young enough to be one!
Rosalie nr Baltimore    zone 7   where we have  summer with 70 degrees and I 
can eat lunch outside on my deck with nature (despairing over how those nasty 
cute squirrels are burying nuts theyll never find in my garden ) and the next 
day it  is below freezing with a bitter Arctic wind freezing your toenails!
