Some little fucker has eaten my tulip blooms!
Snipped right off. About 6 of 'em, there are others, but these were the first ones about to bloom. Anybody had experience with tulips being pilfered? I'm eying the younger kitty, she's mischievous.

3. I would also guess deer. They ruin everything around here.
But, there's also this little guy/gal that I just spotted a few minutes ago. I noticed something furry running around the edge of the pond, I had never seen one dry before. They look kind of like a cross between a Grey squirrel and a weasel. By the time I got my camera it was back in the water eating Cattail roots.

6. Squirrel ate most of my crocus.
I planted about 300 bulbs late winter, looks like maybe 100 survived. I like the squirrels, but I am glad they left me some.

7. I can't have tulips
for the critters eating my bulbs, I gave up years ago. I think crows will snip them off too.
