They were out during a thaw, but have not been 'chipped' at lately. They are in a small hill & our stone wall along the road. The wall is the New England without mortar type.

I wish.....the chippies outnumber the snakes.....once in awhile they leave their skins in the rocks....most must be ribbon snakes, that's all I usually see, except for an occasional ring-necked.....

Chipmunks live in all the rock walls around our pool. When I cut down all the Ornamental grasses I found all their little nests they made from the dried grass. Cute little buggers.

Only spotted two chippies so far this year. Hope they stay away. Last year was the battle keeping them out of new planters. Love the Trilliums!

So I bought my tomato plants today, that means it truly is spring. I brought them in just now but in the morning they will be going back out.

So I watched the local weathernews. Looks like I can plant them out in ground on Saturday.
