Sally & Foxy, I did have tulips broken off at their necks and thrown around the bed this year. I think it's the groundhogs doing that. But here, some creature actually ripped these bulbs out of the ground. They had already finished blooming. I have never seen that before.

Well, I'll be collecting and discarding all of those mouse traps. What a waste of time!!

This hosta was attacked, probably by the voles, right at ground level before the pips unfurled. It could even have happened underground as the pips were nearing the surface.

Foxy, that's funny! I don't think NAT GEO would find it funny. This is the first year that I ever put out bird feeders. I bought one of those suet cake cages and hung it in February. Well, those darn squirrels would eat the entire cake in a day. So, I stopped filling it. Now I've put out a hummer feeder and will see who comes around.

There has been somebody digging down into my compost bin and pulling out fruit scraps. I find them tossed about the beds.
