What’s On Your Roof?
As I was laying in bed last night trying not to watch the clock, I kept hearing this familiar clicking noise from above. Before you start thinking I’m loosing my mind you should know that we have a very large oak tree in the front yard that hangs over the roof. It also hangs over our bedroom.
Usually what keeps me awake at night is my husband snoring, but for the past few weeks I’ve been woken up by some squirrels who are in need of Ambien. It seems they prefer bowling with acorns on our roof after midnight.
The clicking noise is them scurrying around running laps. The acorns they drop from the tree are more of a ping sound. When you lay there long enough you can differentiate between the two.
As if it’s not bad enough that they bury their treasures in my landscaping and chew on our pumpkins every fall, now they keep me awake. And to be honest they kind of freak me out a little. There is something shady about these creatures.
The more I concentrated on wanting to stand up in bed and bang on our ceiling, I remembered the stories my grandmother would tell about her sister, Edna. Seems Edna had a few loose marbles rolling upstairs. She would call my grandmother and her other sisters and talk about the aliens that were on her roof. A large amount of laughter always followed stories about Edna.
Maybe it all started out with squirrels and acorns and after many sleepless nights of hearing the noise she began to hallucinate?
Probably not. From the stories I’ve heard I think she was just crazy.
How can you be sure it is squirrels and not aliens now? Hmmmmm?????
Or alien squirrels?
“There is something shady about these creatures.” made me snicker. I. Absolutely. Hate. Squirrels. Give me snakes, lizards, frogs, shoot - probably even a mouse…but squirrels are bleck!

Squirrels are really just rats with puffy tails. Be afraid.
