Crime scene tape might add to the decor on Halloween, but fall decor starts well before and extends to Thanksgiving for me. <br /><br />Those rotten critters even tried to chew a fake pumpkin! Even squirrels should not marry their first cousins as the blood line apparently does weaken along with intelligence in their offspring.<br /><br />I've heard that rubbing WD-40 on the pumpkins will keep them away but I don't want hubby to come home and find me using <i>his </i> WD-40 on pumpkins. He might go to Ancestry dot com and look up <i> my </i> lineage!Knittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194307677813885580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-65547196680408609832011-10-25T03:30:51.078-05:002011-10-25T03:30:51.078-05:00Just coming by to ck on ya, Blondie...:))Just coming by to ck on ya, Blondie...:))bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-42868270981327078742011-10-25T03:28:23.230-05:002011-10-25T03:28:23.230-05:00Janie!

Oh Iknow about those ...Good Morning Jane Sweetie...<br />Oh Iknow about those pesky squirrels. They have now emptied practically all of Momma and Daddy's pecans from their trees. No pecans this year. I think all they have gotten is about half of a coffee can. So sad. (Usually all freezers are full as well as mine and the siblings, and they always had plenty to sale for the holidays.)<br /><br />I had no idea they would go after pumpkins and ghourds though. For pity sakes, there is nothing sacred I see. I think the one they chewed the hole in, I would simply add another little carved one inside of it. Make it work. Open the hole a little smoother, cut the top out, place the smaller one inside. Have a double decker sweetie. You might be starting something here.<br /><br />Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I love seeing the mums this time of year. I have yet to put any out, but I am working on it in my mind.<br /><br />We are still having 98 degree weather, but they tell us a cold spell is coming, we might make it down to 90 this week. I guess I had better get out my coat and mittens. Ha! Ha!<br /><br />Have a glorious week sweetie.

Although, I haven't put out anything on our porch yet...I feel that it's still too hot in the afternoons (over here in the hills) to put gourds out...so I am just leaving them inside! And I've still yet to get the Halloweenie candy too!!! :)<br /><br />I'm excited for your kitchen redo - can't wait to see pics! Ahhh, if only our projects would go a little faster... **sigh** <br /><br />Anyway, enjoy the season - those mums of yours are amazing!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JessieA Cozy Cottage in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682860006721913633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-12329517852771737682011-10-23T22:29:31.781-05:002011-10-23T22:29:31.781-05:00Well I guess the kitchen upgrade is moving along n...Well I guess the kitchen upgrade is moving along nicely.
