Today we have some very unusual Caturday Art for you, and we didn't create it, honest!!!
On our very early morning walk with Mom, we spotted this odd lawn decoration. It may be a stretch, but we are calling it Caturday Art.
Mom says it is called forking, a prank the teenagers play on others. We found that name a bit confusing since we saw mostly spoons and knives and only a few forks. Kids today sure are bizarre.
And if that wasn't enough oddity for one day, look at what we found on our deck.
I don't see any around now, but that's because they are very sneaky critters.
Don't worry, Timber. I, Misty, am right here to help you out. We can double team those pesky treerats. It may be too late for those other tomatoes, but we can step up and protect those green ones. Maybe we can even get Mom to let us stay out all night and surprise the evil thieves.

I have heard of flocking someone with flamingoes, but not this.
ReplyDeleteI hope it was squirrels and not people!
ReplyDeleteThat's some pretty wild yard art! Hey, I hope you keep those pesky squirrels in line sweeties!
ReplyDeleteWe've never heard of forking before and it sure it strange! What a bummer about your tomatoes. Stoopid squirrels!
ReplyDeleteSuch blatant acts of mischiefness!
ReplyDeleteOur volunteer tomato plant continues to thrive and fruit -
Now to get 'em to ripen!
Great job of guarding the garden goods!

We give kids video games. computers, and cell phones and they only want to play with forks

ReplyDeleteWell, those kids are not from the anti plastic environmentally aware group then, are they?!!! What a shame about the tomatoes... Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Those forks are a weird idea! It is a shame about the tomatoes. We have a bumper crop again this year and I use the biggest ones for making and freezing soup for the winter. The only problem we have is Mr. Blackbird comes in the greenhouse and pecks the bottom ones.
ReplyDeleteThose lawn "decorations" are really weird!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Tomato Protection Patrol.
Hmmmm... Do squirrels eat tomatoes? That "art" is beyond bizarre!

Until we read your description of that first picture we thought it was a bunch of mushrooms that had popped up in the grass. BOL! We can't believe those pesky squirrels stole your mom's tomatoes before she could harvest them. You two should be posted around the clock to guard them.
ReplyDeleteWeird but creative art!
ReplyDeleteSquirrels can be very naughty!
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "We used to have a tomato thief around here, too, but it turned to be Dennis."
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Not that we are saying there were any dogs involved in your tomato disappearance!"
Lulu: "Our Dada says that forking prank reminds him of the Rat Puckers at the Renaissance Faire he and Mama used to go to in New York. The Rat Puckers would go around the Faire hitting—they called it 'pucking'—stuffed rats around the crowd. Dada says they would always shout, 'Get out of the pucking way!' before they would hit the rat, to make sure nobody got struck by a flying rat. One time one of them asked Dada if he 'pucked around' and offered him the use of one of the rat-pucking clubs. Apparently the humans found this all very amusing."
Oona: "So would Oona! Oona would jump right into the air and grab one of those rats as it went by!"
We have never heard of forking, but we think if it is the level of mischief teens are getting up to, it isn't a bad thing. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteIf the theft is at night, it’s more likely to be raccoons! (But squirrels do get up very early in the morning, so they might. E pulling of 5:00 AM tomato raids)
ReplyDeleteForking?! Well that is wild. Back when I was a whippernapper the thing was thowing TP up into the trees etc. It was so messy. Now to the tomato theif...wonder if the forkers came back with knives and plates for a late night tomato snack.
ReplyDeleteMisty and Timer looking lovely as always
Hugs Cecilia
What a pain it would be to have to get all that from the lawn, as bad as toilet paper from the trees.
ReplyDeleteAs for your tomato thieves, if it was at night, squirrels are not to blame. They go to sleep as soon as it's dark. Possums, raccoons and skunks, however, are up all night eating.
Hi hi hi! Ojo here! Was there any food with those forks??!? Also, squirrels are Bad. I don't like tomatoes very much, but still, they should not have stolen them. I will come chase them with you, if you like! (In my younger days I caught one once! I'm a super-squirrel-chaser!)
ReplyDeleteAwk...those tree rats seem to be working overtime everywhere. They snatched the two beautifully formed large tomatoes at our house (but have left the cherry tomatoes along-go figure). Wilson has officially become a squirrel hater.
