Alternative Uses For Old Halloween Decorations

Neither my mom or I felt like going to all the trouble of cooking and scraping our jack-o-lanterns after Halloween, so I went and set them on the back patio, to see if squirrels would go for them.


After a couple of days with no activity, I went out and put some birdseed - mostly sunflower seeds - inside each pumpkin, and a little around the mouth of each one. Today when I was outside I took the lid off of one of them, to see if that made any difference.

A few hours later...












After a little while, another squirrel showed up!



This didn't last long - after a few forays from the newcomer, the first one chased him away. Several times!


Later I looked out and got a few more photos, with a spotlight this time!
