Fall Sleep Problems - The Squirrels are Fat!
I’m having a bit of a problem sleeping at night lately, and the fat overfed squirrels aren’t helping. Let me explain.
We have roughtly about 5 huge tall acorn tree’s around the house and some of the branches and limbs go right above the house about 150 feet straight up toward the sky. We have skylights in our living room to allow more light in since we live in a very wooded area. Acorns are small, usually less than an inch big but they are like hard little rocks. With fall upon us, the tree’s are raining leaves down pretty constantly round the clock. Along with the leaves, come the acorns. When these acorns make their 150 foot fall right on the skylights there is a bomb like echo that radiates through the whole house.
BOOOOOMMM
It’s so loud. When it’s 3am in the morning it’s enough to sit you straight up in bed with a panic. My husband and I are getting used to it, a little, but it’s making our sleep pattern very chopping in between each acorn that falls.
I was outside on the porch this afternoon putting Jonah out and I noticed a few squirrels on the top of the fence. Holy moly, they have gotten fat. Every morning there are at least 20-30 acorns sitting on our porch and since the squirrels are so full they aren’t cleaning up these extra acorns.
If you have any starving squirrels, please send them my way.
