Happy Halloween

Having pumpkins for Halloween decorations can get you more than you expect. I this neighborhood, it may get you the neighborhood squirrel.

I stood on my balcony yesterday watching the squirrel in the tree. He's red and sleek and fat. He lives on that building given that the stucco is easy for him to climb... no need for trees here.

Later walking jack, I noticed the squirrel near a patio nicely decorated with several pumpkins... then I noticed the holes in the pumpkins. The holes were carefully hidden on the side away from the door. He had been at this for a while unnoticed. The squirrel was feasting on the pumpkins!!

Guess he had his treats early!! So much for the Indian corn I thought about putting out for decoration.
