I got the message . . . loud & clear!
Just in case you haven't noticed, it's been unusually cold lately. I have no urges to be outside in the yard. I haven't even been keeping up with the birdfeeders. Instead of topping them off every couple of days, I've been letting them go. There is still plenty of seed in them. I did run out of squirrel food, but I figured they could eat what was dropped from the feeders.
Apparently they feel otherwise. This is what greeted me today outside my backdoor:
It's a crocus bulb and foliage. Much like the severed horse's head in "The Godfather", I took it as a warning. Start feeding the squirrels again or risk losing my bulbs!

If you feed them or not they'll still eat from your garden. I'm glad they don't eat as much as deer. Good luck
Oh my New Jersey squirrels have quite the attitude ;-) Better get those feeders filled before they start yanking out the roses.
You are so funny! It is a good thing they are small if they are carrying such big attitudes.
We have very persnickity squirrels here too! Very funny post! Elizabeth
Hee, hee! Squirre Mafioso! I found a little cayenne pepper keeps them off (as do moth crystals, but you have to be sure that pets don't eat the moth crystals).
