Sunflowers, and my arch-nemesis

[wraithfodder]

Here are some shots of the one (1) sunflower that popped up in my garden. All the ones I planted? Nada, zilch, but this sucker grew up on its own. I figured I should take a picture before some wild animal destroys it (more on that later).





And here is a video of my arch-nemesis, the chipmunk. I suppose it doesn't help I feed the critter sunflower seeds... I suspect our house will collapse into a massive sinkhole one day, and billions of chipmunks will pour out. Yeah, they're EVERYWHERE. A couple years ago one chewed the bottom of my remaining sunflower plant - TIMBER - and then ate just a tiny piece out of it. Grrr...

My parents used to have a yard over-run with chipmunks and moles. And then they found a box of kittens on the highway. Within six months the pot-holed yard was cured. Of course, the squirrels and raccoons still taunted them. And the opossums. And the neighborhood fox. And the birds! The birds were especially smug.

Sounds like our yard! :)
