The Squirrels Are Screwed

So I thought...

When Birdie came home from Texas, she brought her dog, Strider. Tucker is delighted to have someone around to help with those pesky squirrels.

The squirrels come into the yard to rob the birds of their food. Tucker does not like this so he tries to protect the bird seed.

Tucker works hard at this job so it's nice to have a little bit of help from Strider.

Strider thinks that maybe he should check the birdbath...just to be sure...

"NO! They're over here in the tree!" shouts Tucker.
"Where?! Are you sure?"

 

"Yes! OVER HERE!"

 

"Ok, cause I was thinking...lalalalalalala."

" Ohhhhh lalalalalalalala..."

"Wait, what was I doing? Oh, right! There they are!"

Poor Tucky. His job is not getting any easier after all.

And I'm pretty sure the squirrels don't have any extra worries in our backyard.

Garden Play

The garden is coming along. So far, everything is growing instead of dying. This is a good sign.

I've been playing around in it every day since I began prepping the areas in the yard in March.

I planted squash, green beans, blue pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers, rosemary, sunflowers, black-eyed susans, and cosmos--some of which I must take a moment to say "Thank-You" to Kim at My Field of Dreams.

The raised beds contain my leafy greens- spinach, red lettuce, romaine, tomatoes, green beans and the same flowers.

My bird bath was too deep for the little birds so I had the husband drill holes in the bottom so I could plant flowers in it and put a smaller birdbath in the middle on a pedestal.

I also made a little flower garden between the two bird feeder poles and the bird bath.

I just love color in the garden!

And the birds? The LOVE the new birdbath set up!
