Back Yard Thoughts

I love my deck and backyard. It is not really very well landscaped, it is a hodge-podge of over growth and deer food flowers, but I like it. I love all the birds that live in the various over-grown trees, but these squirrels are still getting on my nerves. I really enjoy sitting on the deck, drinking coffee and reading in the morning. The birds sing, the air is usually nice and fragrant and the squirrels walk right up on the deck by me to the bird feed. Seriously! Since Annie the dog is living somewhere else, I am combating the squirrels all by myself and losing. I have started taking a spoon out with me and banging it on the railings. Usually that causes them to sail away, but not always. I think my neighbors are convinced I have lost my mind. I came to a conclusion yesterday. I am going to stop fighting this battle and just buy more birdseed. The birds and I just need some peace.

Also yesterday, as I was listening to the news for really the first time in a few days, I heard an interview with Pat Buchannan-----He is definitely an idiot and a bigot. I just needed to say that.
