Black Squirrels
On Wednesday as I was walking around Albemarle and environs, I forgot to mention the black squirrel. I saw several of them scampering about as all squirrels do this time of year. I haven’t seen any black squirrels in years, but I saw three of them and tried to grab a pic without success. It surprised me for some reason, though really they are not so unusual.
This time of year I place chicken wire over my gardening containers to protect the spring bulbs from the squirrels. We only have grey squirrels here, but they are bold. The black squirrels look so pretty but are certain to be just as destructive. Makes me think of my Scottish grandmother who, in her later years living in the country, kept a slingshot handy and developed skills that amused the rest of us. No, she never actually killed one.
