There is a THIEF in the midst and HE HAS GOT TO GO!!!!!! Of course blogger will not load my pictures fast or in the order that I want so...work with me here! These pic's show my grape vine & piles & GOBS of hulls on the ground!! At first we thought someone came to the house when we were not at home (like our boys) and decided to have a snack. We could see where someone or SOMETHING had been eating the grapes & spitting out the hulls. Well this happened several different times and we discovered it was taking place at night. We knew that wasn't a SOMEONE so that left a SOMETHING...but what? Gandalf had not barked, Danny went out several times in the night with a light trying to catch IT, but to no avail. BUT YOUR SINS WILL FIND YOU OUT!! HA! Gandalf finally caught the sneaky thief and ran him up a pecan tree the other night! IT was SAM...better known as OPOSSUM!! The sorry sucker met his demise the other night...but with a full belly! So....you never know what will take place around here!

Poor Sam, but you're right --- you're sins will find you out, lol! At least you found the offender and took care of it before more damage was done.

Those are some beautiful grapes tina. I'm gonna sneak down there with dot and get me some to. Tell your dog not to chase me though cause I can't climb a tree anymore.
LOL. I didn't know opossum's could climb trees, Jerry said they climb the tree and hang upside down by their tails. I need to go look that up so I can see it on the internet.
