I think we have a little guy. He snubs his way around and gently knocks things
over. I've done some things to keep out cats so they don't kill the birds, but
with a backyard wildlife habitat, I welcome the little dinosaurs!

We have at least one armadillo, possums, racoons and lot of other
critters. We don't mind sharing our garden with them, in our view, it
makes it better.

We don't have many squirrels here, but last week I heard this rattling in the
gutter. The leader, actually. Just scratching and scratching. I noticed the
tail was out the bottom and then the legs would also hang out. I thought it was
a squirrel stuck in the leader. I tried to tug it out, but was afraid it'd
bite. Animal control came in five minutes (holy shit!) and she pulled it out.
As I thought, the little guy didn't realize all he needed to do was back out.
He was trying to dig up to where he saw light. Poor thing.

Last spring and early summer when our peaches ripened, this one sqirrel took one
bite of 50 fruits! Fortunately, this tree had about two bushels and we had
peaches for every manner of delight.

I'm going to plant another peach tree out front so the neighbors can just come
and pick their own. Everyone died when they bit into a perfectly tree, ripened,
organically grown peach. I could probably sell them for 3 dollars a pound.

I have a 'Dixieland' and would like to know if anyone else has peaches with a
low, 400 chill hours parameter. I will plant another 'Dixieland' but if there's
something else I should know about????
