The Sun came out

I was surprised today to see these squirrels on the new feeder Leo just made and put up yesterday. Partly because Deb had just posted some squirrels in her journal and partly because I went to open my bedroom window and they didn't move. I went to get my camera and was more surprised I got a picture and it turned out through the window and screen. I think they are so cute but my husband said he bought that seed for the cardinals.... hoho ho ho...... Maybe they can share. I told him I like the squirrels too and they are funnier to watch than the birds ~ let the neighbors feed the birds ~ they have their baffles etc on their poles so the squirrels can't eat and I can see and take pictures of them... in fact the neighbor said the cardinal was making a nest in my tree, LOL

If you want inexpensive food to feed the squirrels, the Family Pet Food Ctr. on Military sells 50 lb. bags of cracked corn for a few dollars a bag. I like to put some on a stump in the yard for the squirrels. There is no waste either as there are no shells. Pictures are really cute. I love squirrels.

Great-just great...My brother made a "squirrel feeder" with a small perch shelf  and you put an ear of corn or food on it...the squirrels seem to like it.
