Current Score: the Gray's 0, the Squirrel 2

Yes, Spring has finally decided to appear here in the Northeast!!! So we thought we would get into the spirit of the season and hang up a couple bird feeders. You know...to feed the birds. Yeah, NO!! More like feed a couple little chickadees and BIG squirrels!! They can clean you out in no time flat!!! Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to feeding squirrels BUT this is ridiculous!!

We are smarter than the squirrel, right? That was rhetorical! You also need to keep in mind that these little bird feeders cost us a 'whopping' $12 - including the feed. :) SO, at the 'Swap Shop' (a fabulous little place here at the transfer station - I'll have to write about it sometime), I found these wicker plate holders that I figured would keep the little monkey - as we call him - at bay. This too was short lived. We watched as he crawled up the tree with much curiosity...NEVER have I seen such a display of the 'flick the tail dance'! And THEN, he figured out how to get to the feed once again! AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!



At present, I can hear my husband down in the basement hammering and tinkering away to devise the PERFECT fix for this "problem"! I love it when a plan comes together!





We'll keep you updated on what the score is! :)

Happy Spring to one and all!!
