Bombs Away
by T. Touris –
Our resident squirrels have been picking up some bad human habits. Recently they’ve engaged in a spruce cone bombing campaign that has us a bit shell-shocked.
High from the tree tops where neither human nor dog can touch them, they nibble away at the cones, releasing them towards our roof, cars and sometimes our heads.
Hearing a cone land on metal roofing has us shock and awed. Numerous time I’ve had to scurry for cover while walking towards my car for the morning commute.
The squirrels seem to think humans have no place living in a spruce grove.
We like our little house in the big woods.
Peace talks are ongoing.
