We once used some leftover roman candles to scare away the grackles. <br /><br />But I guess that might get us in trouble with the police in IL!<br /><br />Great pics of you and Doug!shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299129399707488442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-56694867654705479782010-04-21T11:59:48.679-05:002010-04-21T11:59:48.679-05:00Too funny about the squirrels!

I'd wake up regularly to find him hanging out my bedroom window with the BB rifle in his hands, aiming at the menaces attacking the bird feeder to shock them away from it. In his drawers. In February. In Pennsylvania. Can you say cold??? Good luck with it all. And if I find a Valium, I know where to send it.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309520006409284650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-74113707895672790642010-04-21T08:43:58.271-05:002010-04-21T08:43:58.271-05:00Love the photos of you and Doug.

You can have loads of fun with that! Never thought of a squirt gun....oh the fun you are gonna have!<br /><br />I agree, the photos of the two of you are fabulous!!!

Dad would tap on the window, bang on the window, and eventually run out and chase the squirrels. He finally got a squirrel feeder. The squirrels were still a pest, but the feeder was enough of a distraction that the birds got some food (if only briefly). <br />BTW, Lovely pictures of the two of you.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236806773789677957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-90059697673635832032010-04-21T06:35:47.014-05:002010-04-21T06:35:47.014-05:00I second the water gun.

Now--for the bird feeders...if the squirrels are climbing the pole to get to the feeder, have Doug spray the pole with WD40, then let him watch the squirrels slide down the pole like firemen. It's hilarious. You can also buy a cone-like contraption that fits on the pole, wide end down, that the squirrels can't get past to get to the feeders. The WD40 is much more fun, though.pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709075846870284285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-62201753654065680752010-04-20T21:34:38.518-05:002010-04-20T21:34:38.518-05:00Im sorry about the bird feeders and those pesky on...Im sorry about the bird feeders and those pesky ones trying to steal all the bird seeds. <br />Lovely picture of you we should see those more often.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677546740016889230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343570824231683006.post-79209552580135616572010-04-20T21:31:44.402-05:002010-04-20T21:31:44.402-05:00My, so much to comment on!

Second, has Mary Ann ever told you her bird stories? She seems to think she's a bird bomb magnet. You gotta have her tell it! Third, I love that picture of you! It's gotta be in the Top 5 favorite all time photos of you! You look wonderful!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051950012579346329noreply@blogger.com
