I may have caught the same ground squirrel twice
Not thinking, I let Corki into the back yard this morning. She approached the first trap, gave it a sniff, looked around and spotted the second trap.
When I looked next, ol' Corki was banging that trap like a pinata! At one point, I think she was standing on top of it.
By the time I got out there, the trap was empty. It was upside down, which allows the doors to open. It was also pretty scratched up. Corki was following a trail, which led behind my day lillies and through the butterfly bush area. She was hot on the trail, but unsuccessful.
I reset the trap, and not an hour later, had another ground squirrel. That makes number 4 since I started trapping the other day. This one was fairly big, like yesterday's, and was not a talker. I tried explaining that this was for her own good, she could reunite with her family, but she was fuming at me.
When I let her out, she went the wrong way. Everyone else had gone left, she went right. I figured she was a Republican squirrel.
I just hope they are happy in their homes.
I have several holes to fill. I have to buy some dirt and put it down the holes. Corki actually stepped in a hole and it could have hurt her.
On the bush trimming front, I have trimmed 10 of our boxwoods in front of the house. I have 4 to go. I have 2 little rechargeable battery trimmers, and I seem to get one boxwood done before the trimmer dies. So....4 more bushes should take me about 3 days.
But this all makes it a little clearer on what I will look for: a battery powered package that has a blower, hedge trimmer, and tire pump working off the same battery.
You would think that would be easy to find, right? But I just can't seem to find the right grouping.
Such is my boring life.
Peace and Love
