Hundreds of peanuts fell from the garlands as we prepared to put them up at my parent's home a few weeks ago.<BR/><BR/>May I suggest a steel container with multiple combination locks? (I fear padlocks would be ineffective against these nimble fingered rodents - they'd probably figure out how to pick the lock or simply steal the key too!)<BR/><BR/>Of course, if you think about it, our garland was outside, so it's likely the squirrels stored their stash while they were hung. My Mom insists on taking it down again just after Christmas. With the branches of the garland somewhat frozen and our desire to get our butts out of the cold as soon as possible, we probably didn't see them. Your mystery on the other hand is a very mysterious, well, mystery.<BR/><BR/>Still, it's quite the coincidence.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479917054269627249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913440299679310512.post-18201709605602471282008-12-08T16:33:00.000-05:002008-12-08T16:33:00.000-05:00Carly! For real? That's nuts ;) All I can think...Carly! For real? That's nuts ;) All I can think is that the domestic species of squirrel or chipmunk has developed opposable thumbs. The special blue plastic bag was fastened tightly with a twist tie. With a cheek-load of peanuts, how does a little chippie get into a bag with no holes? And even more, how does he get into a rubbermaid bin? I'll be sure to tell mom your story...we'll have to come up with an other plan, it seems.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858653306179033669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913440299679310512.post-86006226556916905222008-12-08T09:46:00.000-05:002008-12-08T09:46:00.000-05:00Unbelievable!

We found peanuts in our outdoor evergreen garland, which was stored in rubbermaid containers, when we opened it up this year.<BR/><BR/>:O<BR/><BR/>Can you imagine?!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479917054269627249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1913440299679310512.post-35448814741535697672008-12-08T01:02:00.000-05:002008-12-08T01:02:00.000-05:00Haha... oh my!

I feel for the poor little critter that worked so hard to leave all those peanuts! <BR/><BR/>...I can't help but wonder why there are no pictures attached to this... surely you must have thought to grab a camera at some point! Too funny! ;-)Bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16229275605231024216noreply@blogger.com
