This month’s calendar squirrel is hard at work.
.

.
And I don’t mind telling you the thought of our resident rodent bitch learning to use tools terrifies me senseless.

It’s been a while since Facebook’s targeted Ball Wash ads flooded my feed. And silly me, I thought I was over the proverbial hump. Then I saw this…
.

.
Ball Hammocks are not a step up…. and I seriously doubt dads need them. I mean really, look at that man. You can tell he would much rather have gotten a tie.
.

.
Damn. Now I’m going to have to give up pizza forever.
.

.
Bambi Bunchers? Please, no.
.

.
Sweet Jesus. I really don’t care if your nuts are happy… and is it me? Or do those nuts look more like garlic anyway.
.

.
There are a lot of wonderful places in the world to make love. Under a chocolate chip cookie is not one of them.
.

.
I suppose cozy tube steak was inevitable.
.

.
Noooo!
Not the red squirrel…..
😱
.
.
Yes, she’s still here.
.

.
Though thankfully this year she’s keeping her distance and not nesting in our attic.
.

.
How long that will last probably depends on how long her memory is.
.

.
Forcibly knocking her children out of my gutter’s downspout was traumatic I’m sure.
.

.
I’m hoping she took up residence in the neighbor’s new tree house. I mean come on, it’s a house. In a tree. What does she want… an engraved invitation?
.
.
This month’s squirrel has been doing a little gardening.
.

.
And while I never object to landscaping and property beautification, if she’s planting a tree next to our house for easier access…. I’ll be grabbing my ax and aiming for more than the tree.
.
.
After a few weeks of totally avoiding the windows….
.

.
Our little guy has discovered the joy of squirrels.
.

.
And since it wasn’t the resident red bitch, I didn’t even wish it ill.
.

.
This brave grey fellow was positively taunting Lord Dudley.
.

.
And manic cackling ensued.
.

.
The afternoon ended with a flock of wild turkeys….
.

.
And I think it’s safe to say the great outdoors will now be providing hours of feline entertainment.
.
.
It’s March first…. and that means it’s time for a new calendar squirrel.
.

.
This month we see the little red devil has loaded up the kids and taken to the road.
Let it be known – I will gladly purchase a Barbie recreational vehicle if our furry red rodent from Hell will hit the highway. Heck, I’ll fill the damn thing with nuts if that’s what it takes for her to vacate the premises.
.

.
Look, it even has a pool. Maybe I’ll get lucky and the little bitch will drown.
.
.
The February red squirrel from my calendar.
.

.
This photo has shaken me to my core…. because if our resident rodent discovers power tools?
We’re doomed.
.
.
We do.
.

.
And it’s a beauty.
.

.
Matter of fact, I’m thinking it would make an excellent red squirrel impaler.
.

.
I dare her to try and climb up that gutter.

Every Sunday night I kick the husband off the big tv in the living room and stay up late binge watching a bunch of recorded series. I don’t watch a lot of television, but I am addicted to a few HBO, Starz and Showtime programs that my other half hates.
So Monday is the one morning I sleep past 5:00am… and I relish my extra 2 hours. But this Monday morning? I was woken by a noise.
Scratching. And banging. Then more scratching.
I grumbled, I stumbled, I got out of bed and I found this….
.

.
The red squirrel bitch from Hell. She had scaled the bush alongside the house and was scrambling up and down the screen, over and over. And then?
.

.
She just hung there.
Taunting me.
.

.
That bitch has got to go.
.
.
I know the picture is bad and you probably can’t read the writing, but this salon I drove by last week?
.

.
Claimed to be The Best Little Hair House in Augusta…. and that made me laugh.
.

.
This is the January squirrel from our new calendar…. and if momma red dons a pair of skis? I’ll be sure to post a picture of that as well.
.

.
I think we’re all entering the new year with a little trepidation, aren’t we…?
.

.
Look!
.

.
Our contractor does exist! I even caught him putting on the third coat of polyurethane.
And I had to take this picture as well, because the husband is so thrilled he’s going to have a bar?
.

.
He walks out there everyday and communes with it.
