We have a bird feeder on our deck that is supposed to be squirrel proof. If a squirrel sits on the ring at the bottom, his weight triggers a motor that spins the ring around. Birds are so light that they don't trigger the motor. Recently, one of the many squirrels in our yard proved that trial-and-error works. He (or she) finally figured out how to hold on to the holes where the seed comes out. When he falls off, he eats the seed he has knocked off onto the deck.
My next step is to grease the outside with Crisco!
Reid rode his first horse today at Chastain Horse Park in Atlanta. The instructors there know how to work with Reid and they were surprised at how quickly he participated. He had no problems. Of course, it helped that he had three volunteer helpers plus the instructor!
Before we can ride, we have to brush Shadow. Then we have to learn how to saddle up.
Everyone should have this book - a copy for the office, a copy for the coffee table, a copy for the library, a copy for the library "annex", a copy for the briefcase (for you to read on the plane/train), plus copies to give friends. Amazon.com
Mary Helen and Jim live in Washington, DC. Three grandchildren have their own blogs so the focus of this blog is the other two grandchildren. You may also see a picture or comment about us from time to time.
