Wind and umbrellas. But it's never been a problem in the 5 years we've lived here. S'ok, I'm hauling my grouchy self to Houston for 4 days to a scrapbook convention with 3 girlfriends.

But there isn't a thing I can do about it since I was the dum-dum that planted them there! Sorry about your chipmunks - is there any way to keep them away?<BR/><BR/>Annie - I actually have a big metal dogbowl of water for them right on the septic field. I really think it's because we mowed down that grass that they came right up to the door. Gotta take that up with my DH...And yes, you're right, it is so hot and dry they must be miserable.
