‘The Resident’

He’s not paying rent but I don’t have the heart to evict him….just yet.

The ‘resident’ in my garage has been very busy over the last month as winter sets in.

I assume he assembled this smorgasbord before the snow hit the area. I discovered his stash last week as I was looking for a box for some tin cans. Guess that one won’t work…..

Squirrelly is obsessive-compulsive. Every pine cone is neatly laid out on the bottom. No piling in the corner of the box and no layering.

This guy is…..nuts!

Have you ever had any non-paying ‘residents’ show up in YOUR garage or house?? Let me know here: https://www.facebook.com/CKDR.Dryden/posts/pfbid026PWSu23afTiRoo4JnHsZTSJqd6R7NrPrkdvNbvTTeatyB39Rn6oLXswEepja2qkVl
