(sigh) Yeah, teach those invaders a lesson, squirrels, and show them who owns the territory! (big hugggssssss) I love this, sweet friend, this has a deep environmental awareness to it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sy,

Thanks for the read and reply.

Noah,

Is that how this sounded? This is my every day life. Poor, poor squirrels.
It IS their territory...not ours....
driving slowly makes no difference, for they run across the road before you can see them.

Actually only ever hit one, and felt horrible....yuk! Mostly, they do sit up right in middle of roads. On occasion they do pay attention to horns if you are close enough  they jump straight up in the air and then take off...a comic tragedy, in motion. though they usually escape...
But, there is always roadkill here.
SADLY!!!


Thanks for responding...Hugs, Pat

Karilea,

Smiling here, yes, I have seen that ad.; if only they were that smart they'd move deeper into the woods.

Glad you liked this.

Martie,

Thanks re, imagery...and yes, it is so true, about taking over their environment.  The deer are a real problem. On our main drag through town, double lanes, both sides, they bound across, always more than one...and frequently get hit.
Dangerous to both driver and deer.  

But I wouldn't miss out living here for anything. Only have 65 percent of water level needed, however. We've springlike conditions, but think forest fires are going to be a real problem this summer. Had escape route signs up last year it got that close, but only once,  so I might change my mind about living here.

Probably those ornery squirrels playing with matches to get even...


Smiling, thanks, Pat

NancyLee,

Thanks for reading and responding.
Glad the imagery was good enough to take you there. Yes, they do seem
defiant, and my grandchildren and I can only laugh as their seeming arrogance and refusal to move, sometimes.

Thanks, hugs, Pat

Alyssa,

Skunks? We had one hit in mid. of night three houses down and could smell it for couple days. Hope that isn't your dogs chasing them. Bet you go thr. much catsup/tomato sauce to remove that scent...thank for reply.

Raph,

Yes, they do become quite tame and fearless when fed regularly...

Lori,

The reason I hit one was oncoming traffic and cars behind me. It was the squirrel or a smashing into or being smashed...poor little thing!

Dixie,

They are cute! Lady up here has several come up on her porch who come daily for peanuts, and go nose to nose thr. sliding door screen w. indoor cat. Yes, the screen is ruined!

Thanks to all of you for taking your time to read/reply. Hugs, Pat

PatMyDearFriend~
I think you do the imagery so well.
You certainly placed the readers (evident from the replies) right there !!!

I thank God that I live in a rural country area that allows the free roam of those little squirrley critters up and down the trees in the meadow~

I place feeders on the Oak trees ... and sit back and smile at the antics as they scramble.
Watching them jump from tree to tree is always a breathtaking moment~

How tragic when I do see them on the road ...

Great write, lady~
I love you~
