Wildlife Refuge
This is seriously getting ridiculous. For some reason little animals like our yard, deck and house. Some bloggers out there find it amusing when little animals come visit their home and quietly depart. I wouldn’t mind, if the animals that come to our property would in fact depart without eating the veggies from our garden, eating our trees to death, scaring the bugeebers out of me, or pecking out the wood from out siding!
In our almost 6 year living in this wildlife refuge we’ve seen:
- squirrels, of course
- an owl
- a swarm of honey bees (no offense dear Roses)
- wasps
- bag worms
- these red hornet looking things
- a raccoon
- a woodpecker
- a couple of snakes
- a rat (I hate rats–they are SO not in my job description)
But the line has been crossed…either a squirrel or a rat is in our house between the upstairs and downstairs. We can hear the pitter patter of its little feet running across our bedroom ceiling. And of course my beloved husband decided to point this out to me around 3 a.m. this morning.
Worst case scenario, that animal dies in our walls…oh that would be so so bad.
I’m seriously considering doing something about that St. Francis statue outside!
If you have any SERIOUS suggestions of what to do, please comment.
