Our New House

Well, it has been a while since I could post as we were in the process of moving and now as we unpack and settle into our new home. We moved a couple of weekends ago and have since closed on the house. So, now it is officially ours. Very scary! We have enjoyed being back in a wooded location. We always did enjoy the wildlife that surrounds you and now we have a large picture window to add to our enjoyment.

On the day that we moved my father-in-law saw that my dear Joe had tried to fill a finch feeder with regular birdseed. Of course that just frustrated the birds that came looking for food. So my father-in-law went and got us a normal bird feeder and some seed made for the finch feeder. He came and hung our new feeder and changed the seed in both. The birds were SO HAPPY! Now we enjoy seeing the different birds coming to our front yard looking for food. Recently we had noticed that the feeder was somehow getting knock out of wack and I assumed a squirrel was involved. Well, this morning we got to witness first hand what was happening. And here is the culprit!

Have you been in my parents' backyard? My dad has waged war on the squirrels that stole from his bird feeders and so the feeders now look like crazy torture devices. I think it helps though-Joe might want to get some tips from him!

Yes, we see the different "devices" that your dad uses. They are quite comical. If we were not living in the city now I would say, "Is it squirrel season yet?"
