Mr. B just a squirrel uffer4. We'll see if it works

hokie carla
I don't know what that means
7:29 am
hokie carla
but am very interested
7:29 am
bichon
It's metal and goes on the pole.
7:29 am
hokie carla
what pole
7:30 am
bichon
The bird feeder sits on a pole
7:31 am
hokie carla

7:33 am
bichon

hokie carla
I need to keep them out of my peach trees
8:00 am
bichon
you have peach trees, lucky
8:00 am
MollyL
I prefer the greased pole method. It's hysterical to watch them try and climb it
8:01 am
hokie carla
well, I bought them a month or so ago. tons of baby peaches right now. I had one in my last house and never got an actual peach because of the stupid squirrels.
8:02 am
MollyL
I heard you have to net the trees
8:02 am
bichon
We jus bought an Eastern red bud tree
8:02 am
hokie carla
really? I will have to check that out.
8:02 am
hokie carla
haven't seen the peach farms around here do that but maybe they have so many trees they don't need to
8:04 am
hokie carla
we have two big redbuds at our back porch and one small one in the other trees that must've been a volunteer. probably my favorite tree. but one of the big ones split in two and was leaning on our roof, so we had to cut that part down. not sure how long the other half will last.
8:04 am
bichon
blueberry bushes have nets over them. Otherwise the birds will get them
8:05 am
hokie carla
I tried bird netting over my strawberries once but it didn't really work
8:06 am

11:32 am

I awoke at 11:30; I'm still recovering from my indoor fall three weeks ago. SO much sleep.
11:33 am
dcseain
so visible bruising so far.
11:33 am
moolingwa
ah, sorry to hear that...hope you're doing well otherwise
11:33 am
BzznBea
oh, dc! i'm sorry to hear that.
11:33 am
dcseain
no, not so, visible bruising so far
11:34 am
dcseain
I'm able to do stairs, and can walk, so it's good.
11:34 am
dcseain
thank you.
11:34 am
dcseain
I fell on left thigh, side of left knee, and left elbow
11:37 am
hokie carla
yikes
11:37 am
dcseain
happily, it was one step from living room to dining room, on hardwood, so it was rather minimal, if deep, bruises near the bone.
11:39 am
dcseain
and in chatting with 75yo I live with, got some good feedback on how to lay wood flooring to draw attention to such features.
11:39 am
hokie carla
I'm glad you didn't break a hip. you know we're reaching that age. 😜
11:40 am
hokie carla
so it was one raised step from one room to another?
11:40 am
dcseain
yes, person who looked at it the day after, said there is no crack nor break of bone, as I'd not be walking on it if there were.
11:41 am
moolingwa
well that's a big something at least
11:42 am
