It's Funny Friday
Squirrel Appreciation Day


Well, I don't have too much to write about today.  M says I don't have to post every Monday and Friday but I like to write.

Here is a picture of the center square M is using for the February Quilt (Valentine), that she is putting in her Etsy Shop next month.  This is our little Katrina pattern,  she is 3" tall and cotter pin jointed at the neck, with thread jointed limbs.

Let's talk about this SAD (Squirrel Appreciation Day).  Well, that's what it says on our Humane Society calendar.  We like the squirrels, even though they steal all the bird seed, can damage flashing on your roof, and are very good at just being annoying.  But - we like our squirrels.

Now that all the leaves are off the trees we can see how many nests there are around our property.  Heck, some of them aren't nests, they are condo's.  They are huge!

At one time we would buy the dried corn on the cobs and put that out for them so they would leave the bird feeder alone,  well let me tell you - they carried the cobs off into the woods and in a little while they were back eating the bird seed.  Last summer there was one hanging on the hummingbird feeder trying to figure out how to get a drink.  Honest, you had to see it to believe it.  Dad calls them rats with bushy tails.
"Um, excuse me, but the bird feeder needs filling!"
