Critters

The ants have been replaced. By squirrels.

Not on our countertops, thank God, but in our attic. Or rather, inbetween the old roof and the new roof.

Now that the weather has been rainy we've been hearing scurries and scampers on the ceiling above the two smaller rooms. One day I saw a cat jump off the roof right after hearing the noises and I thought, "Oh, it must have been the cat on the roof." But that night we heard the scuffling for a long time and Geary thoroughly checked out the roof. No cats.

The next morning Geary checked around the house to see if there were any places where critters could get it. Sure enough, he saw two squirrels climbing into the space between the old garage roof and the new house roof. He's been putting up mesh screen to keep them out.

Now the only fear is--what if we're actually screening them in?
