Chipmonk House
Our good friend (in our lake house community) is an older, retired farmer. He lives off the land as much as is convenient and he is out with nature a lot. He always brings us "little treasures" because he believes we will "adopt" his treasures and projects.
His latest find was a piece of hollow log with two round holes in it. He brought it to us with the idea that we could turn it into a den for the little chipmonks that live around our house. Sooo, here goes:
This is the log as we got it . . . (I left Dakota in the photo so you could see the relative size . . .
Another view . . .
We decided to give it a new top . . .
We finished it up by giving it a "homey" feel for our chipmonk friends! (The "new" top will blend right in after a high desert winter!)

I do love the little house, but don't I recall a story about rattlesnakes heading for the garage? And don't chipmunks attract snakes? Maybe you need to put a picture of a mongoose on it instead, lol!
