THAT'S THE PLAINS, GEORGIA TRUTH

I was driving down the street the other day and something made me slam on the brakes. No, it wasn't a squirrel in the road. Rather, it was the squirrels in this person's yard. They were everywhere. This shot manages to catch only a few. The person that lives here must be a really big 'nut.'

THEY'RE HERE

This is the newest member of our family. His name is Michael Jackson;MJ for short. He showed up about the time of his namesake's demise. No bird-feeder is safe from MJ. He eats more than my wife. Once he finishes with his daily ration of nuts and the birds sunflower seeds, he stares in the window with that, "Don't you know winter's coming" look. He has dug up every plant on the deck, destroyed the peat pots before the seeds sprouted, and drives my dogs crazy. My only hope is that he joins a union and is forced to take weekends and holidays off. Any suggestions for relocation services or vacation destinations, would be greatly appreciated.  

MOOSE AND SQUIRREL

This is a member of our pet family that doesn't reside in the home. His name is Carter (as in Jimmy Carter for those of you old enough to remember). He, and his ancestors, have been entertaining us for about 8 years now. Many people consider squirrels to be rats with tails. Apparently, they never saw Ratatouille. While Carter is not a gourmet cook, he can fly and make a perfect upside down landing, slice and dice peanuts, and wake us up if we have overslept. He does provide free entertainment and that is nothing to shake a peanut at.
