As I went out the front gate this morning, I saw what I thought was a big, black lizard running away from my sunflowers along the west fence between us and our neighbor. Hmmm....
I went in the house and came back out a few minutes later and one of my sunflowers was moving, so I crept up and looked. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It was a HUGE RAT! A big one! Big and dark and ugly! Apparently HE is the culprit who has been chewing on my plants! I also found chewed sunflower seeds that dropped down from the fence, so I won't be feeding the birds out there any longer! No, no, NO! And, I have two lazy outdoor cats!
Hubby and I drove up to the Whitewater Preserve today, but by 10:30, every parking space was taken, so we turned around the drove through Palm Springs. I saw a train coming, so I pulled over and took photos (I haven't uploaded them yet...) We stopped and got ham sandwiches from our favorite Italian deli, which is next to the Fresh & Easy in Palm Springs. We're having a lazy afternoon. I cleaned out the hummingbird feeders and I'm going to take a nap...
More later...
