A squirrel ate our sunflower!
August 22nd, 2008
Or rather the squirrels are in the process of eating our sunflowers. We have gathered some of the seeds, but I honestly think the kids are enjoying watching the squirrels eat the seeds much more! Every time Fritz notices a squirrel climbing on the sunflower he squeals “Kitty!” One time he climbed up and got the camera down from the very high place we have it now and stood there making sounds like he was taking pictures of the “kitty” as it ate.
After the squirrels have their meal and leave the kids are just fascinated looking at the half shells and bits of flower on the ground. They especially like looking for whole sunflower seeds that the squirrel knocked loose but didn’t eat.
Out of all of the sunflowers that we planted only 1 survived and it didn’t get very big at all. My girls did enjoy looking at the seeds that it made..
Cute story about Fritz taking pictures of the “kitty” ROFL!
my he (the sunflower) rest in peace.
A kitty! HEE HEE! I love it! Oh heather, that is so very sweet! The kids had a really neat visitor.
Awww how sweet that they are fascinated with the “kitty” being able to get a sweet snack! Sneaky little squirrel. LOL
