J'aime les fraises...

We like strawberries.
The squirrels like strawberries.
We don't like squirrels who eat our strawberries.


As soon as a strawberry is almost ready, they pick it, they eat the red part 
and leave the stem and the unripened part next to the pot!
Just so we know... 
They are taunting creatures, just ask the dog Chloe, or the cat Tiny.

Sarah was going to outsmart the little devils.

After a couple of hours searching on the web 
&
All kinds of interesting ideas 
&
Some good laughs

Ta... Da!

Sarah's invention!


She made a squirrel scare mobile with sticks, string, glue 
and Mike's new-outdated-obsolete cd's (don't ask me why we are still keeping these?)

We were so proud when the evening came and the ripe strawberry was still intact.

Then night came.

Then morning. 

The strawberry: 
Half eaten next to the pot!! 
URG!!!
We were beaten! 
By the little tauting creature!

Here is Chloe wondering why this dumb invention was even created!
She obviously thinks, she can keep the squirrels away...
With all the countless hours of guarding the back yard she does!
We had to reassure her that she is very competent and it's only for when she is gone...
Boy, can her feelings get hurt sometimes!
