9th
A squirrel has chewed through the wire mesh that is covering the vents under our eaves and has decided to make our attic his home. At first I liked the idea of harboring a cute little squirrel for the winter, but waking up this morning to the sound of the beams inside our walls being gnawed at and reduced to sawdust has quickly changed my perspective. As an attempt to scare him away, I had Daryn knock on the walls in my closet while I waited at the hole. When he popped his head out of the hole, I swatted at him with a broom. Unfortunately, I don’t believe this scared him, I think it just made him mad. The next time we step onto our front porch, I’m certain he’s going to be waiting just inside his hole with a pile of acorns to start chucking at us.
