And two days later… it’s gone 🙂
(Although, to be honest, the cage is on the ground near the base of the tree, abandoned now by squirrels, with not an atom of suet to be seen!)

Squirrel Hanging From A Cage
Here’s a photo I just took:
Note two things:
1) The line of demarcation between our yard and that of our neighbour, made all-too-obvious by the maniacal lack of fallen leaves on her grass! I guess I should take this as a hint that it’s time to get outside and start raking.
2) This guy, hanging from a suet-feeder:
This is actually a brand new suet feeder, since the last one was stolen by squirrels. Yes, stolen. As in they fished it up to the branch by pulling on the chain, and then somehow detached the entire cage and took it to parts unknown.
I wonder if this one will disappear as well?
A Garden Post
It’s been a very long time since I did a post on the garden, and since they were always very popular I’m probably overdue for another!
Last weekend we bought a new whiskey barrel for our back patio, and planted a calla lily and some ‘red things’ in it. Our original barrel has this year been devoted to morning glories and some other type of flower at the base. Here’s a shot:
Some detail of the plants:
That light is solar powered. I expect we’ll have to move it when they grow in!
For the front yard, the first significant change I made this year was to remove one of the hedge bushes near our mailbox and letting the black-eyed Susan’s take over:
We also bought a ‘white bush’ (possibly a dwarf willow) and planted it near our steps:
It’s small now, but it’ll be bigger in a few years!
Lastly, in the ongoing struggle to control our ‘front garden’, we added more hosta and ferns. It’s slow going, but I think we improve it every year:
Incidentally this post was 100% done from my phone, which is what I plan on doing from Florida next week. How does it look?
