Welcome to our nano piece of paradise!
This is essentially a creative photo blog plus few words. It is about Sandra and Denny's gardens and surrounds. My granddaughter Adelyn calls me "Poppop", hence the blog name. We try to add new images once a week. Older posts are archived at page bottom. Click an image to enlarge. We're having fun. Please! Enjoy!

Chip Chuckin

Chipmonks are Sooooo cute....BUT! They DIG. They dig holes in our potted plants, and in the garden beds, and in the mulch, and under just about anything that you don't want them to dig in. So we "chuck" them, with a "half a heart" trap. They simply cannot resist sunflower seed... works every time. Then I get exercise walking them to the "way back" a couple of thousand feet away from the house. We open the door and they take a "flying leap" out into the unknown. They get a new home, and we get a chuckle and fewer holes. I've probably "chucked" a hundred this year! (Video is included below.)
Hey, I didn't dig that hole! My buddy did it!

...and THIS is his buddy, ... just visiting jail...
... hey, seriously, can I get out of here???
... well, can I ???
