| Oh my goodness here it is, the holiday season | | | | put away for the winter before the terrorists |
| arrives, Christmas is just around the corner | | | | came through. The pond is still available and |
| and Im so glad Im not a turkey! The raccoons | | | | they play in that, I get to listen to the dog |
| have been in the garden, we have renamed them | | | | grumble at them for most of the night. I have |
| the terrorists. I have no surviving | | | | to admit I would rather have the terrorists |
| birdhouses or birdfeeders left, luckily there | | | | than the local bears. We have one male the |
| is still so much natural food around no one | | | | size of a Volkswagen, eek , I stepped out on |
| is going hungry. | | | | the porch to check out a noise and he was |
| | | | strolling through the yard, the dog barked at |
| There is actually a good side to the loss of | | | | him and he strolled off, they never seem to |
| all my wonderful decorative birdfeeders, I | | | | get too riled up by anything, thank goodness. |
| get to get new ones, how fun! Not only that, | | | | |
| but when friends ask what I want for | | | | As soon as it snows seriously I will put out |
| Christmas I have something concrete to tell | | | | the heated birdbaths so that my residents, |
| them. Get me some brand new, fabulous, | | | | (no visitors this time of year) can get |
| decorative birdfeeders, in any size, design | | | | enough water. The bears, who also get into |
| or color for big birds and little birds, | | | | the birdfeeders, hibernate soon but the |
| please. I get to remodel the yard. Well maybe | | | | raccoons dont, they just seem to disappear |
| its more like urban renewal than remodeling. | | | | mid winter for awhile so I can put up my new |
| | | | decorative birdfeeders. |
| Luckily I managed to get all the bird baths | | | | |
