I fed Earl the Squirrel a few peanuts and then went out to see my darlings. The Purple Kush photo was soaked for about 12 hrs, sank, was put in container in AM on 9/13. This morning, a mere 3 days later, we are above-ground. Yay!
I was so excited to take a baby picture, I forgot to close the sliding door.
When I emerged from the garage, holding my phone, Earline was in my dining room, clearly looking for the peanut-lady. Earline was not aware that the fattest - and surprisingly nimblest - cat in WA was over at the food dish.
OMG.
It was absolute mayhem, but in complete silence. The cat had drawn a bead on the squirrel and was on the move. I had to get between them or they would both die, and I'd end up with stitches, rabies shots, and a bad day. Noise would make things even worse. Poor thing just wanted out by then. She was up and down the screen almost at the hole, but not finding it. I got the slider closed enough, but she ran between the door and the screen. Since this is a rental, the screen is not exactly something from BHG. I bent it out (at a previously established bend, lol) and she was finally able to take off.
The hole in the screen has been modified to allow me to forget to close the door and not worry about the wildlife getting tired of waiting for me to come out, lol.
She was back on the deck within minutes of me completing the modifications to stop it from happening again.
Anyhow, this little photo will spend a few more days in the fortress of solitude of the upper deck - the place where things germinate. Then into the CFL tent to veg for at least 12 weeks with the Girl Scout missing her 2nd set of leaves.
I was not high enough or caffeinated enough to deal with a squirrel in the house at the time, but I did it without waking anyone up.
I believe I need to fix the caffeine/thc situation, lol.

I'm an animal person. For a moment I had considered turning the video on (half the time I don't know where my phone is, lol) but realized I'd be a very bad pet-parent if I let something bad happen to kitty because I was shooting a movie. Horrific karma.
Just the one and I keep repairing it. Why mess up a good thing? Especially if it's already messed up? LOL
