Springtime in January...

[4est_4est_Gump]

What a year this has been!

I still have fall peas growing...



Right now, I hear cardinals marking territory as I wonder about getting some cabbage into the ground.

We did have snow on the ground once for about 90 minutes.

I sure hope this sticks around...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My heat hasn't run much, for which I am glad, and I have seen no sneau.


I had five cardinals on the back roof the other day - 3 girls and 2 boys. One of the boys then chased off the other.


I think he was pimpin'.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

We have at least nine pairs that haunt the feeder...



Neat birds. I know when the feeder runs out, I look out the window and there's a heard of red working over the lawn.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

They are neat birds and have been my favorites since I can't remember when.


I'd put in a feeder, but then I'd have talking cats sitting in whichever window that would be and making a fuss.


I got some cookies from my sister-in-law which I am saving for them if it does snow.


Better them than me.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

The problem with feeders here are the squirrels.

They figure out how to defeat and destroy each and every squirrel-prof feeder I purchase, so I take pot-shots at them with the .22...



Every once in a while, I can get a dachshund to chase them.

 

[Ishmael]

You can have my snow.

[Bidin~Time]

I just had an epiphany. A late epiphany as i am a little slow.

you have a dachshund...my dad has a dachshund

you have bird feeders...my dad has bird feeders

your dog chases the raiders of the bird feeders...dad's dog chases the raiders of the bird feeders

You have a .22 ..dad has a .22







Dad is that you?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

*chuckle*

The wife has a dachshund, Princess has another.

The .22 belongs to Princess.




It's me, Uncle Buck!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I have a girl Cardinal out foraging on the back roof and a large black cat talking to her.


I may have to swat him.


Mom has had good luck with the steel inverted discs on the poles that hold the bird feeders. She watched a squirrel lose his mind trying to defeat it and got a chuckle out of his Rodent Frustration.


*rolleyes @ Bidin*

They've learned to leap from the tree to the feeder.

Perhaps it is time to raise your canopy and make it more interesting for the little tree-rats.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

whewwwwww that's a relief.

Someone needs a swat.

 

[Bidin~Time]

The deer have developed a taste for bird feed at Pa's house





Mister Tyler, whatever could you mean?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Between the flying lead and bark, a dozen has turned into three determined...




When the nights get warmer, I'll get out my .22 and scope for a little "camp out..."

 

[Bidin~Time]

Squirrel dinner at Uncle Buck's!!!

Got a timetable for that Unc? i wanna be sure and have the day off.

...

I don't have that problem.

The neighbors corn-feed them at their pond so they one, get used to the scent and sounds of humans, and two, get used to walking past the deer stand in the woods...





Now, it's not baiting if you don't put out corn on the days you actually hunt!

One small leap for squirrel, one giant leap to the pot...

Your aardvark hunters will be all jealous an' shit.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

If aardvark were on the menu, we'd have as many of them as we do half-shell possums!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I thought that was armadillos that come on the half-shell.


What do I know?


I just know that Comancheros come without shells . . . just the spent projectiles therein.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

That's what I meant, the 'dillars.



We have plenty of the soft-shell variety; the road the last two days is littered with them, there's bugs on then there roads! no time to hibernate...
