Again!!....


Sometimes, I'd just like to throw in the towel.

Two of three of these Yucca Color Guard,
have been CHOMPED!

Maybe we need more metal plants, concrete yard art....
a GUN?

Nope...can't shoot them.  Just would like to.

Happy Gardening...

We Got Lazy....



We like to feed the birds.
They're fun to watch....
flitting around, jockeying for a place on the feeder.


And, it makes a great place to get shots of them.
The photo above is from a few weeks ago.


This was yesterday.


This is today.

Another feeder bites the dust.
It was in many pieces.  Brittle plastic, made more brittle by 
freezing temps.

We have an on-going battle with squirrels and raccoons.
I gave up counting how many feeders they have ruined.

This one I found at a garage sale, for $5.00.
The last one they tore up, cost WAY more.

We've tried ones designed to keep those rascally critters out.
But, how to keep them from taking them off the hooks,
and throwing them to the ground?

I refuse to give up.
We like watching the birds.  
So, we'll get another feeder.

We just need to remember to bring them in at night.

'Til later...
Take care...
