STORY TIME!!!

First let me say that the squirrels up here love to stand in front of my dog as she’s locked up on the deck and taunt her. Of course Snuggles goes CRAZY and won’t stop barking until they leave.
AND NOW MY STORY
So I’m standing in my living room enjoying my coffee at 2pm… we had a long night. Anyway. I’m enjoying my cup of coffee and the peace and quiet the mountain has to offer.
When all of a sudden our dog starts freaking out, running back and forth on the deck barking. So I open the door, thinking that me coming out will scare the stupid thing away. NOPE. All it does is run half way up the tree and sits there. Well I decided to take care of things myself… I grabbed the BB gun. Our BB gun has a scope on it. So it’s hard to miss on the first shot. I pumped it 3 times, opened the door, made sure no one was watching and took my shot. Don’t worry; I didn’t kill it. I just showed it who’s boss… right? I quickly put the BB gun back in the house, grabbed my coffee, walked back out side, and went back to enjoying my peace and quiet… Well the squirrel started making its stupid noise… I guess it would be a squirrel call. Well it finally ran away. 10 min. later it came back. But this time it brought a friend. Now there’s 2 of them. I would have shot it again. But that would have required me to really be out in the open. What can I say, I like to go sniper style! :+)
Now I’m sitting here thinking. I need a flannel shirt and a wooden rocking chair to put on the deck. So I can sit there sipping my coffee, while rocking back and forth with my BB gun lying in my lap. What do you think? Can you picture it?

Ummm...it's happening. You are becoming a mountain girl. My transformation was complete when I stood on the deck and watched the bear climb the stairs to my house, rather than running and screaming inside. I love it. Sounds like fun. At least there is some good entertainment.

We miss you guys!!! I guess we got spoiled seeing you once a week. If we ever make it up to the mountain again, I will call you in advance and we will come by.
