Thanks all for the Replies. I forgot to mention that this is my first year gardening, so I'm a bit on the beginner side. My first gardening area just turned out too small, then the second area wasn't enough. So I made a third, fourth and a fifth. I have crops all over the place (they do look great). That is why the fence idea was ruled out, just too much ground to cover. The other day, I caught him going into my shed. I closed the door on him and tried to figure out how I was going to remove him without having to kill it. Well, next thing I know, he somehow pushed the shed doors open (it was latched) and escaped. I have a burrow in my yard, I believe that the shed and my yard is their vacation home. Their place of residence is my neighbors yard. I could always lay stone all the way around my yard, but I would need a lot. (its at least close to 1000 feet of fence. I'm going to get a trap and trasfer them to a much nicer place far away from my garden.

Yes, indeed! All you daddies out there have a marvelous day. I always think of Randy and the very special relationship he has with his daughter, Amber. Randy, if you're out there, Happy Father's Day! Susan

What a sweet post. Yhis year the kids gave their Dad a note I found years ago in a shelter on a trail in Cheaha Nat.l Forest. A little boy had written the "rules of the trail" and posted them on the wall of the shelter.This is what he wrote: 1)Follow write blases. 2)Stay on the trail. 3)If Dad gets hart ( I love this and always think heart) use his sell phone. 4) If you get lost yell help or Dad. # 4 is the one that mostly gets used in our house. My kids are 33,31 and 25...when they feel lost they call Dad.

Annie, thank you for including all of us in your invitation to the wedding. I wish I could be there, and will be in spirit. I do send my very best wishes for a long and happy life together for Amanda and David and their children. I know it will be very special and I'm looking forward to your sharing pictures and the event with us. Lee
