Joe vs Critters

As it turned out, spring skipped us, and summer came all at once. Of course, the 4th of July is only next week, so we were ready to put out our Tiki torches to enjoy a warm evening outside. And Joe officially declared a war against bunny and chipmunks who were nibbling on his sunflower sprouts. He almost got himself a pellet gun, but too many people talked him into feeding the critters. The idea is to keep them well fed, and in theory they should stay away from our garden. So instead of spending $150 on the gun, Joe picked up a bag of sunflower seeds for 5 bucks. Chipmunks took no time to appreciate the seeds. In the picture is this one chipmunk who thinks seeds are all to himself, though he doesn't fool around too much with Joe every time he senses Joe's presence nearby.
