You will find that you will really miss the "therapy" of crawling around in the flower beds and mindlessly weeding in between the hostas and daylilies and such. I know I still do and it's been three years (or maybe four) since I had our flower beds taken out. It was such tedious work and yet relaxing at the same time ...
My work with pots just wasn't the same and the squirrels just regard my large pots as their safe deposit boxes/playgrounds. They hop from one pot to the next, flicking tails and glancing at the windows of the house to see if I am watching them ...

I already miss it because I haven't done any work in the flower beds since early last spring because of all my joint issues. I will still have some weeding to do but not of the level as before. I'm having my second knee replacement surgery on Dec. 10 so I'm looking forward to two pain free knees. Hip replacement in somewhere in my future. Now, if the doctors would just come up with a way to do spine replacement to cure my stenosis! But the steroid shots help. And I foresee squirrel problems if I have a bunch of pots next year.

Well, Marcia, I cannot guarantee if my Varmint Chaser will work but I certainly had a couple of giggles while I was creating him in my clay studio. He has googly golden eyes, golden horns and fangs and plenty of little drops to indicate that he's blood-thirsty so he should intimidate something. I scratched up his coat with a toothbrush to give him a rough-and-ready look and I think he'll be ready for action come spring.
I wish you well in the 2020 garden season as you try to outwit the furry invaders.

A friend sent me this idea for Christmas napkins

aww, I don't think he looks mean at all. More kind of pensive and wistful looking. I think it's the big open round eyebrows. He doesn't have Angry Eyes.

I'm stealing Angry Eyes. To use on my kids when I do Text Msg. or such.. LOL

Your Varmint Chaser is so ugly he's cute! We MUST see a photo of him next year among the flowers. Please?

Judy, I just got back from Joann's purchasing Christmas fabric for stockings for DD and her family. Their stockings were ruined in the flood caused by Hurricane Dorian. While in line at the cutting station I saw a fellow quilt guild member. She had a cart full of fabric bolts. She told me about this great pattern for napkins. She's making tons of them for gifts. And now I get home and see your link for the same thing! I guess that means I have to make some.
