Now, I am a true nature lover and watching the animals that visit my yard has delighted my whole family this winter. But those darn squirrels!! I put out corn for them – separate and far away from my bird feeders. And guess where they end up? Trying to get into my bird feeders! You know how it goes – last year we tried greasing the pole holding the feeder, putting an upside down bucket so they couldn’t get at the feeder and putting a cone over the top. And you probably can guess that none of it worked.

I love my cat.  Here she is.  

It is not cute.  No.  AUGHHHHHH!!!!!!  Give me snakes any day.  The sound of mice scurrying makes me crazy.  It’s genetic.  My theory is this: historically speaking, women who hated mice lived longer and had more children.  Therefore, most of us are descendents of women who have spent some good part of their maternal energy chasing small furry creatures out of the precious food set aside for the family.
