This projectile smashed into my back when I was out watering yesterday, courtesy of some crazed squirrel crashing through the oak tree.

Perhaps I haven’t mentioned it lately, but I’m not fond of squirrels, or rodents of any kind.

However, when I walked around the back of the house, I saw this— a gift from the chipmunks who fill their cheeks at my bird feeders, and then like rodenty Johnny Appleseeds relentlessly plant sunflower seeds around the yard.  Okay, this one is pretty guys.  Score one for the rodents.
