I blamed the wrong critter.

Ever since we painted the barn/man cave the perfect shade of red, I’ve been sputtering about recovering the porch furniture because now… it clashes.

I recently bought some color coordinated fabric and found a local woman who’s going to do the job.

Me… sew? Yeah, that’s not happening. So while I was waiting for the seamstress to tell me she was done with prom and wedding dress alterations, I saw this:

WTH?

The edges of all the cushions had been shredded!

I ranted, I blamed woodchucks. I cursed, I blamed mice. I sputtered, I blamed chipmunks. But guess what?

The real culprit..

Was a bird looking for nesting material.

Mother Nature. She has all manner of ways to drive you crazy.

It’s the same in the human world – walk up in a crime scene and you’re automatically being accused.
Poor Ms. Mouse, all she wanted was to be left alone and eat from a pile of kibble left by her Ladyship, and is now pushing up daisies.

Nope. I saw that dastardly rodent try and drag a beheaded marigold into the baby barn. The gloves are off!

  But did you see Ms Mouse actually do the deed?
  Besides – a mouse likes to have a pretty flower on her bedside (uhhh) table too.

  I’m afraid it’s guilt by association.

  No problem for the birds, the gloves will make fabulous nesting material.
