I Am Running Out Of Hiding Spaces
Author: siggyI used to keep my potatoes in the garage but last time some critter helped themselves to a few potatoes, gnawing all around several. My wife immediately threw these in the trash. Fortunately he left a few alone.
I used to keep bird seed in the garage, too, but I had the same problem. Some animal probably a mouse took a liking to it, scattering the shells of the sunflower seeds, creating a real mess on the floor.
My cobs of corn which I put out for the squirrels hoping they would eat less birdseed were not safe there either. There would be neat even rows of corn kernels gone. This creature was winning.
I decided to keep my potatoes in the closet in the house hoping no creature could get at them there. I will see. I was running out of hiding places. I was fighting a battle with an invisible enemy. And I was losing.
