squirrel food

When we saw this squirrel on top of the play house this afternoon we couldn't initially figure out what giant morsel she was enjoying.  Turned out it was one of our old dried out sunflowers...the one's out by the fence that are looking quite ragged and are falling over onto the sidewalk.

I'd like to say that we intentionally and considerately left these lingering in the garden to feed our sweet rodent and feathered friends.  The birds and squirrels are extremely fond of the seedy treats.  In reality, we just hadn't gotten around to pulling them out and now, well, we're considerately leaving them in the garden to feed our little rodent and feathered friends...
