It's fall. So I started planting my bulbs: planted one dozen daffodil bulbs last Sunday. I got daffodils and narcissus because deer and rodents (we have mice and/or voles; can't tell for sure. And we definitely have squirrels!)
Tuesday morning I went out to water them: and half of them were dug up. Apparently the rodents either noticed the loose dirt or smelled *something* and thought they could get dinner. Then they got down to the bulbs and decided "Yuck! Narcissus bulbs! They're icky" and just left them there. Thanks, guys.
Well, now I have special eco-friendly mint-oil granules to keep them away. We'll see how well they work.
And I bought a pruning saw to finish the rosebush before it finishes me off (between the amount of labor and the zillions of thorns)
And the pond is nicely full again, with the net over it to catch most of the leaves (they are a nuisance to dredge out, especially since I don't have a long-handled net. Need to get one.)

Squirrels can be so obnoxious. Although, after our fox squirrels in MI, the Western grays here are... well... unobtrusive. TOUCH WOOD. I am *not* complaining, d'ya hear me, squirrels?
