The difference is I am not throwing corn and beckoning them to eat out of my hand - I am swirling large objects in the air and stomping my feet while making hissing and screaming noises trying to get them to leave. It's very confusing for them, I am sure, but I will not back down. They are welcome to float along in the creek and have a field day next door, but I cannot have them eating my tomatoes and dropping their excess baggage all over the deck, the patio and the yard. <br /><br />daryl-Chits is such a tempting word. In fact, I have a great story involving that word and a really bad slogan on a t-shirt in 9th grade Spanish. (Good idea about using the kids to work the flower beds.)<br /><br />Meg-I would except that would probably attract ants, and Lord knows we don't want to entice them any more than we have to.<br /><br />kaffy-One thumb is black, the other is gray.

The weeds are glorious this year, I can attest to that! I gave in, and have the nicest morning glories in town:)<br /><br />Geese seem to leave the most unwelcome things in a yard or on a car...maybe they haven't learned the property boundaries yet and still think they are at your moms?deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462551016440715970noreply@blogger.com
