If anyone is interested in building a see-through squirrel feeder for your resident squirrels, here is what it looks like once mounted on a stump. You can also attach them to a tree.
The instructions are on the previous post.

For now we will leave it here.
I'm quite sure I will see the three chipmunks who live under our pump trying out the new buffet.
A handful of nuts...and they will come.
I have been on the phone and computer much of the afternoon trying to find animal shelters or rescues that are not full to the rafters. I have done nothing but hit brick walls. There are so many cats being found in the Lanark area that need a place to go at a time when all the rescues are unable to take in even one more cat or kitten.
I lived in the Lanark area for 25 years and was very much involved in cat rescue so when I hear about the plight of the rescues and get calls to see if I can help my heart just sinks.
The local shelter is so full they are turning cats away, rescues are being stretched to the limits with too little funding and no available space.
Cats and kittens are being found under porches, in ditches, in fields, you name it.
Irresponsible people abandoning cats and kittens...responsible people finding them and seeking help.
It's a terrible time of year.
I won't preach to the choir...you all know how important spaying and neutering is.
Why, oh why does this continue to get worse every year?
With the cost of vet bills and the state of the economy I expect it will never get any better.
It's such a sad thing to see.
It's a rainy day today.
The air is cool as the wind blows leaves from the trees.
Fall has moved in.

Annie - just being cute.
Audrey is under a blanket. :-b
Sending you all a hug,
