7:28 am

bichon

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

7:28 am

7:29 am

The bird feeder sits on a pole

7:31 am

hokie carla

7:33 am

bichon

7:34 am

7:59 am

bichon

8:00 am

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

hokie carla

10:37 am

hokie carla

I think bea meant she had 6 s's left, not an s6

10:37 am

BzznBea

yes.

10:37 am

MollyL

Ok, I will stop trying to make sense of the chat

10:37 am

morning all, back for my last 169

11:32 am

dcseain

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

11:35 am

moolingwa

oof

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

hokie carla

well, I gotta walk winston. maybe moo will be caught up to my 13 left when I return.

moolingwa

BzznBea

sorry molly

1:12 pm

hokie carla

it happens sometimes through no fault of one's own

1:13 pm

hokie carla

it's all related to the lag and the missing words

1:16 pm

hokie carla

well darned if I can get 5 letters to go together and take for that

1:20 pm

hokie carla

just looked it up and thought, I swear I tried that but typed it in and it says I've already entered it 😜

1:20 pm

hokie carla

I blame this on the double posts and lag

1:21 pm

hokie carla

glad I just wasted like 8 min

1:21 pm

speaking of lagging, I just saw your clue about voices - I miss that one too all the time!

1:34 pm

ch1212

which o do you need?

1:35 pm

hokie carla

ou6. I assume it's to outdo in some way but maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

1:35 pm

hokie carla

ah, there it is

1:35 pm

ch1212

you are right on the start, then add prop in question on Rust movie set

1:36 pm

hokie carla

and the S ends the same

1:36 pm
