But for the grace of God (and mother nature), we might be squirrel-meat this very instant!! In my effort to help maintain appropriately chubby squirrels, I once gave them a 21 gallon tub filled with recently picked texas pecans I had brought with me to the flat-edge of the ozarks here in NE Oklahoma. Despite this contribution to their winter well-being, they promptly ate about 99% of my 300 tulip bulbs I'd spent a small fortune on, within the next year. I now call them "tree rats" as any self-respecting gardener does, and pretend I don't think their tiny little paws are just adorable while I plot their doom. The choose your own adventure part was funny! And that she ended up a ghost, there's a surprise ending. I love your little stories!! I always wish there were more of them!
