Beautiful birdbath, Sandra. I've considered getting one but the squirrels would make a mess of it, and they do exactly like yours did to your planters. They dig holes in my potted plants and hide the peanuts we feed them there. Each time I repot a plant I find buried peanuts!

Many years ago, I worked for an attorney who lived in a heavily wooded area in a house that had floor-to ceiling windows rather than regular walls. One of my co-workers was house-sitting for him and arrived at his home just before dark. As she was turning on lights, she saw an armadillo outside, looking in at her. Wherever she went in the house, the armadillo watched through the window and followed her! She got so spooked, she turned off all the lights and sat in the dark, eating her take-out food. Still, there he was watching her. The bedrooms were the only rooms with blinds so she had to go into a bedroom to avoid the watchful eyes of the creepy armadillo!

I was always a writer but lived in a bookkeeper’s body before I found Medium and broke free — well, almost. Working to work less and write more.
