Scare tactics

Since this approach didn't work failed miserably, I hired a thug to intimidate the little pluckers. They are cute until they dig up and kill the things I'm hoping to use in my cooking this year. So far so good - until they figure out it is plastic, which might take a while since their brains are the size of a marble, if that.

An impromptu invitation to pack a lunch and join my favorite pre-schooler for lunch at school, turned out to be the highlight of the day.
