Stupid Squirrels

Well in my last post that I wrote I talked about how I got Callan a tree which I was growing in a pot until we were able to buy a house. Then I was going to plant the tree in a front yard as kind of a family tradition when each of our kids is born.

The little tree shot up, grew lots of leaves and everything seemed fine, but I think I over watered it. Then all of our house plants got these little black bugs in them, so I moved Callan's tree outside.

Yesterday when I went out to see if Callan's tree was able to recover, I noticed a two inch stump and saw the top of the tree on the other side of our deck. A squirrel apparently had enjoyed the tree. I guess I'll have to get Callan another tree once we actually have a yard to plant it in and then I can buy a bird feeder to side track future squirrels from attacking an innocent child's tree.
