Well, the "official First Resident" here at Chez JohnInFlorida tried to become the "official First Escapee" ...
the mini-pond is netted to keep out the leaves and the netting hangs over the edge, into the water of the big pond.
Minnie,
otherwise known as the first resident, found her way to the bottom of the netting and started climbing, making her bid for freedom!
But alas! Her attempt at escape and life in the wild is spoiled by the guy with the beard! Curses, foiled again!!
Needless to say, I've subsequently had a stern talk with Minnie and she promises she'll never do it again.
But I also removed the netting, just in case ...
Keep Smilin'
