@sueinmn well, that does make me feel a bit better....not much, but at least to know you with so much outdoor knowledge and experience has trouble with these little fellows, kind'a makes me feel better. Will add, I'm getting a tad smarter than they are. I climbed on a 2-stepper ladder and hung several feeders further away from the limbs and trunk and higher so the squirrels can't jump or reach/stretch to them. HA! At least for now. there are a couple they can't get to. Give them time and I'll need to figure out something else.

I had no business getting on that ladder, but I was determined and a tad angry at finding one of my favorite feeders with the special anti-squirrel removal top hanging on the side of the feeder. I fixed it, cleaned it and filled it and had no intention of getting beaten.

So, those guys opened the darn seed cage! NO! I have tough, plastic ties to hold my computer wires I'm using now. I also will next add some heavy wire if they open this time.....

Did you finish your daughter's window/woodwork sanding? You are amazing. At times I'm in wonder at your energy and strength. Other times I'm filled with a tiny bit of jealousy! Hope you're doing wonderful things now and enjoying the family and friends. Pooh! I'm confined to the house except for Mayo appts! and most of them are now video! Let's get this immune system fixed, right?

Chat later. to bed now. bless you all. elizabeth
