I wage a yearly war with them in the garden...they have numbers on their side but I have superior firepower.

It usually ends up as a stand off.

Garden pest? Oh well that's different, fortunately the ground based pests in my garden get no larger than slugs.  :-)

It's pretty darn Springlike today.  The forecast calls for more of the same. 

I knew if I got sick I'd miss Winter.
