Squirrels

The squirrels were at it again this morning, one of them figured out how to get around both domes on the Sheppard's hook. I went out and greased the lower part of it with silicone. That provided some interesting viewing. Vera said they could still climb it, but when they tried to reach up and get a hold of the upper part they slid down. It wore off after a few tries and they could still get up.

Our other feeder has a much larger dome, which they can not get around. So we decided to add one like it to the Sheppard's hook. I was going to town to pick up James after school, so I left early to find a Stainless Steel Salad bowl (that's what the domes are). No luck in the couple of places I had time to look in. So when James and I got home I used a little smaller one Vera had. The next day or so will tell the tale. Today was my first day in a long time with shorts. Maybe a tan will help the scar on my knee to blend in. I know the sunshine sure felt good on it. I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine too.
