This is why I don't have anything nice!

They start out so cute.
And I have to admit, I love my Chippy.
I feed him peanuts.

But he's started chewing up my outside tablecloths! 

He's yanking and pulling with all his might, trying to get the cotton backing off.

I know he's lining his nest somewhere, and I'm almost tempted to just throw some cotton out for him.  Maybe he'll leave my tablecloths alone.

He probably thinks I'm the nicest person ever to provide this nesting material for him.

So I let him.  The tablecloth is ruined now, anyway. 
Later!  Nancy
