For all you city folk, in the Fall, oak trees start dropping their acorns and the squirrels partake of the buffet and fight over them. They take their acorns back to their nests and save them there, or they bury them all over my yard. They even bury them in my flower pots on my porch. So what's the problem? Ninja Squirrels.
Why? Well, remember my bungalow? All day and all night acorns drop unexpectedly onto my roof like machine gun fire....
Rat at tat tat tat tat at tat tatta ratta.....
Then the Ninja squirrels chase after them accross the eaves...
bummba bumba bum bumba bum bumba ......
Often , due to teritorial issues amongst the male squirrels, fights over acorns ensue:
Rat at tat bumba bumba tata tata mumba mumba borka bumba bumba ...
UGH
I can picture the Ninja squirrels stealthly springing accross the roof after acorns that have just tumbled onto the roof then suddenly being tackled by the Tom Cruise squirrels hidden in the gutters...
All day and all night. I am woken up off and on all night by the acorns. Always the acorns. For WEEKS. The acorns . I'll be on the phone and suddenly be startled out of my wits by the symphony of nuts clattering a mere 6 inches above my head. A sure sign that Halloween is coming and the Holidays are just around the corner. Nature at its most wonderful- the circle if life.
It's lovely.
So what do we do? To cope I imagine my own defense force of Ninga Gerbils securing the parameter and protecting the borders of my roof and keeping the squirrels from winning the battle.MMMMMM. Do gerbils eat acorns?
