I Believe We Have DONE It!!!! + Horseback Riding

So, the latest update on the squirrel feeder, I mean, BIRD feeder :) situation is: we have outsmarted the little guys!!!!!! YEAH!!!! So to answer the question from the last post, YES, we are smarter than the squirrels!! Whew! Oh the victory in the little things! Happy! There were a few 'attempts' at trying to get down onto the pizza pan, but since there was nothing to hang onto this time, they had to jump to the closest tree. A feat in and of itself to watch! So now we can watch the chickadees, mourning doves, cardinals (beautiful!) and many others as they can eat in peace. The squirrels have taken to the seeds that have dropped on the ground below the feeder thus making the score the GRAYS - WINNERS! and the SQUIRRELS - well, you know. :)



Not sure if you can see him but on the branch above the feeder is the culprit - or ONE of them! (If you double click on the photo, it will enlarge on your screen for a closer look.)

Last week was the last of Alex's therapeutic horseback riding classes. All the parents were invited to come and see what their child had done while there. He did so well that we are considering having him do this during the year.

Well, the kids have this week off of school, so we are busy getting ready for Grandma Gwen to show up on Thursday. We are cleaning up and trying to keep the house clean! Good luck to ME!

Hope you all have a great week.
