Into the 'Dog Days' of Summer

Hard to believe that summer is more than half over. While we are going into the hotter months of summer it has been some relief to see the rain that has been much needed. For anyone wondering, yes Chip the chipmunk-

when located will be given an eviction notice. Cute as chipmunks can be he and his girlfriend or boyfriend (I'm not sexist) that have been sighted around the yard...ATE EVERY LAST BEGONIA! Chip and I had the face to face discussion when I caught him in the act. Brazen little fur ball just stared me down (literally a foot from me). I was born under the feast of St. Francis of Assisi HOWEVER that don't make no difference when a chipmunk eats up your savings in BEGONIAS! Chip will be sent of to a furry fat farm for obese chipmunk s. Our friendly neighborhood hawk has arranged free air service one way to the fat farm. We wish chip a speedy weight loss, and chip don't forget to tip your hawk for the flight!
