Good morning




Apropos here in Mi. It's been flooding rain for days n days.
I have a dble. Shepherds hook pole with Four feeders on it and three large bricks bracing it. I just looked out the window and the whole thing is lying on the ground.

Squirrels getting more aggressive in getting the bird food?

I took down my Hummingbird feeders yesterday .. I've not seen one in at least a week .. decided to put my deck plants in the garage yesterday as well, at least for a few days .. Weather Prognosticators here are talking temps in the 40's at nighttime in the City .. so I always deduct a few degrees .. better safe than sorry .. some of these things I've nursed along and propagated over 15 years now ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

What's the deal .. ?? We have two birthdays on the same day .. ??

I checked predicted temps before going to bed and brought in my coleus. It is a splendid specimen.

Like this. I also pulled my squash plants a few days ago and put them on the porch to continue ripening. Two squash have been stolen.

Uh, I'll pass. Don't need to add two years every year...

All the little munchers were having a field day

 

[DavidOck]

We've seen the tree rats double teaming the bird feeders. One will jump to the feeder and do his (her?) best to shake all the seed out, the other on the ground packing it in...

They're too damn smart for your own good!

 

[DavidOck]

No kidding!

Now that my avi cat has passed (around a two and a half years ago), they have free rein. He was the consumate predator, and one heck of a tree cat. Used to chase squirres through the trees. For lunch

My biggest complaint about the little furry beasts when I had a garden, was that they dug up all my tulip bulbs and ate them. They don't touch daffodils because they're toxic, but tulips appear to be a gourmet treat.. . Of course there was the time that I came outside to see that one of them had got into my shed and filched a 30 yard spool of bright yellow satin ribbon.... It streamed across a shrub and high up into a tree was the biggest pretty yellow squirrels nest I'd ever seen...

 

[Uncle Willie]

^^^ Kudos to you S, for using the word "filched" .. .. you just don't see it that often ..

Once upon a time...I was conversant with a decent vocabulary... Lack of use has caused it to diminish?

I have to say, I feel about 125 years old today .. yesterday, all day in the yard mowing and mulching, hauling big plants around, vacuumed and dusted the basement Man Cave .. ..

Another of those times that none of the little icons fit... Time for the tens unit, a little libation and other relaxants of choice....

 

[FranC]

Hubs has his second shot in the back tomorrow. Hoping it lasts longer than the first but at least it did work for awhile.

 

[FranC]

Speaking of the tens unit,hubs has 2 of them. Do they make one that runs for more than 30 minutes at a time?
