Critters and Birds

Looking out my window this morning and saw the squirrel in the feeder swing. I really fill it for them! LOL! I walked out on the deck with three dogs chasing squirrels down in the yard and caught a movement out of the corner of my eye. Chippy Chipmunk was visiting also. Probably putting in complaints because I stuffed that hole!
I looked out and saw red and decided I would go get my camera and get a couple of pictures! Mr Cardinal moved around in this flowering crab tree a lot but I managed to get a couple of pictures.
Great way to continue my morning and it's not even 8 a.m. yet!

 Have a great day!


This is the squirrel swing feeder 
This is the hole in the foundation of the house just above
the steps. I filled the hole with with the excavated sand
a few times


Close up of the hole
A friend suggested putting in steel wool, which I did and 2 days
later, hadn't been removed
 
This is the critter I saw on the deck
Also think he is the one that made the
hole.






Then this morning I was treated to the Cardinals!



Love the Cardinals in winter. Splash
of color on dreary days!



Lovely!

    To handle critters you can use the Critter repellent and spikes to control these animals and to keep these animals away from home.

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                 ...

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin...
