Partial Apology to the Squirrelly Tribe

.... it seems I utterly failed to hold the MICE responsible for their part in the great tomato robbery. It is as though Beatrix Potter has set her cute little minions on a campaign of terror against my garden. I think it may be related to the record high temperatures here, and the water content of the plants.

Birds, too. My sister-in-law has individually wrapped each of her tomatoes with some kind of netting to keep the birds off. The plants look hella weird, but it's working.

If you have the time, take a book and sit out back with a Super Soaker. It works with feral cat clowders.

mice are even sneakier than squirrels. They often invade under the cloak of darkness.
