Bird Feeder

This is a little update on Bob's bird feeder that he built to keep the squirrels out.  I knew eventually the squirrels would take on the challenge and get into the feeder.  The smell of seeds finally got to them.  We got up one morning and there is the squirrel sucking up seeds as fast as he could.  "How did he get in?"  So we sat and watched a while and soon there was the squirrel.  He looked up and jumped over the can and went right up and fed. 

Next Bob wanted to put a cloth skirt on it.  I finally got a piece of material and he duct taped it on.  I knew they could climb right up that.  Yes, I love being right.  It must have been too late to come back out.  The next morning I had to break the bad news to him again.  Yes, the squirrel had returned!  He now knows he is defeated.  We are now looking for a gigantic garbage can lid. 

Oh, by the way, the squirrel is a female!

Prom Time

All grown up.  At least that is what they think.  We knew better.  Junior year in school brings numerous social dates.  Prom is one.  It is suppose to be a great night in your life so you must find the most beautiful gown in the world.  We went to numerous places to look.  She must have tried on 10 dresses, in each store before she found the right one.  The color was wrong, the sleeves aren't right, too low in the front, not enough material ~ these were some of the excuses.  And let's not forget the cost.  It is a prom dress not a wedding gown!  Money doesn't grow on trees!  By the end of the shopping trip all I wanted to do was go home, headache and all.  At least we finally agreed on a gown that pleased us both.  Next is shoes!  Help!!!!!

The Squirrelproof Birdfeeder

Last year Bob put a "squirrel proof feeder up."  We made bets, mine of course was they will get into it.  It has taken a while but we now have a squirrel that gets right into it.  Yes, I sit here and laugh.  He has a plastic bag hanging right now.  Yes, it still gets in.  Back to the drawing board!  By the way, I won $5.00.  Took long enough.
