Apparently the scent of human clings to the hair, and repels the critters..
Hmmm. I
do need a hair cut!

I've tried that, though it only seems to affect the deer around here for awhile. Squirrels probably use it to scrub up around my house.
There is a semi-pricey mulch that is supposed to be critter-proof without causing illness among the varmints. I'll look into that next time I go to a nursery.

To all our friends in the Northeast, especially those of you in Western New York, Western Pennsylvania, start preparing for a damaging snow storm now:

this one sounds like a real stinker in the making.

We seem to be clear of snow, but are expecting tons of rain and wind. We have actually been in a drought, so we're hoping this will help, not wash away soil and nutrients that we desperately need. We'll see!

Last Friday Maryland had 9 tornadoes. Luckily none of them were anywhere around me. We'll go years without one but 9 in one afternoon is a bit much. The closest was about 15 minutes from my house.

That means I can only come back to Kansas.
Thanks to all of you.
