I love that. Goodman does things right! Something is now plundering through my lettuce and radishes. I'm going to have to get some Liquid Fence spray, I guess. After I figure which varmint is doing the plundering. ha It's either a rabbit or a ground squirrel, I'd think.

We can do that too, I think :) What an excellent idea! last year we had a mother robin feeding her big fat baby robin for hours!!! Every time we left, they gorged themselves!

The hairs were probably just laying around in the barnyard :-). Sounds like the birds are definitely trying to run the place. They must know about those pretty pictures you posted online of them. It's gotten their egos puffed up.Quiltedtimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210015070612659978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332471591254149295.post-19210440714849633012013-05-21T18:36:30.188-04:002013-05-21T18:36:30.188-04:00Hi, Toni!
