Beautiful set, Dan! No.s 1 and 3 are my favorites.
I hear what you are saying about to stupid squirrels. They are trying their best to kill the one and only tree we have planted in our back yard. It's still small and they are chewing on the bark, so I need to wrap some flashing around it. They are very lucky they are so cute, otherwise I would turn my back yard into a pellet gun range -- and that could still happen.

I am sorry to say that has happened Greg! "Cute" lost out a few months ago!
I have a neighbor that is very inconsiderate and reckless! Her house is a "motel" for birds and squirrels and she has 3 cats!!! Love cats but they can hear those squirrels and birds!!
Squirrels chewed thru the soffit twice in 2 years! Ruined my attic insulation and house soffits, drywall....a mess!
Took 2 "wildlife companies" to end the rampage so far! 1st company were assxxxxx!
I have had to resort to "violence" to try and stop. We are into the $$$$$thousands for damage already. "Have A Heart" traps did NOT work! I tried! Honest! any body need one?..FREE....

Just beautiful Dan, I'm glad you have the photo's to remember them by. You just need the right ***cat.
***My dad was on a war footing with our mini farm/garden invaders when I was a kid... rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, etc would go after the seedlings and chew the tender tops off. He worked so hard to germinate and plant those, it really was a nuisance. (we lived off that garden, my mom canned enough to last all winter too)... he tried a model t coil powered low electric fence around the perimeter, then got some small bear claw traps, with variable and messy results. (the fence zapped more birds than rodents, and the claw trap got a skunk, which my brother John released and got sprayed in thanks for his efforts, heh) Then I got a little angora kitten I named Crystal (big eye's like crystals) Crystal ended up being the best defender of the garden we ever had, my dad loved her! You would never think a big fluffy lap cat looking thing could be so vicious! She would proudly drop her kill's on our doorstep and meow until we came and took a look, then she'd carry it off to do who knows what with them.

Thanks!
