Message to Squirrels...

Spring flowers are finally blooming - a welcome sight!














In the college near our home, I noticed this sign: Please keep off tulips. Thank you.














The sign should have jogged my memory, but it didn't. I remembered too late!














Just as I was beginning to enjoy the tulips in our yard, I noticed that squirrels had again bitten off the heads of two tulips under my weeping cherry tree!














For some reason, they do that every year! Why? They don't eat them...

I quickly ran for the paprika shaker - sprinkling paprika on all the remaining tulips may save them from a similar fate...

That's the only way I know to communicate to squirrels: Please keep off my tulips!
