Crack for Squirrels
Posted: July 5, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Out in front of our house today a squirrel ran from a tree in the middle of the yard to the magnolia grove. A few minutes later he ran back to the tree in the middle and got a friend. The two of them scurried over to the Magnolia. Then another joined them. Then one ran back to the middle of the yard and stood on its haunches and squealed. Soon another squirrel ran down the tree and they went over to the magnolia.
Russ looked out the window and said, “what do you think is going on outside with those squirrels.”
“They have discovered bacon,” I told him. “I poured some bacon grease in the dirt under the Magnolia.
I imagine the squirrels were saying, “Have you guys tried this dirt?” This is the best dirt ever.”
“Who knew dirt bound taste this good. We have been wasting out time gathering but when we just could be eating dirt.”
I looked at Russ and said, “I think I just threw off an entire ecosystem.”
Bacon can do that.
