Holly--

I love your picture of the lone Blue jay---he looks so forlorn....

I found 5 small wedges of some kind of pure fat --probably beef--in my freezer.
Took it out and hung it by the trunk of my maple. So far--no one has been interested...
it IS hanging freely--maybe that is the problem. I will bundle up and go outside
and switch it to the crotch of my smaller maple by the shed. At least there the birds
can land and then peck away at the suet.

Have to go outside anyway--all the seed is blown away from the patio floor.
Still have not done anything on the repaired 3-tube feeder. need to measure
the D I need on that piece of PVC tubing that i will glue into the hole of the feeder
and then, somehow, affix a hanging hook to it.
Much cleaner than all the chaff flying around from the seed on the floor..

I am cooking again--those BQ Country spare ribs that are so awesome.
I go through these cooking binges---What else can one do home every day?
I do work tomorrow...Yeah! My one day of work. It will get better soon...

1--switched the beef suet with the reg. suet cage that was in the tree crutch
2--Now--there are 2 suet feeders on either side of the trunk.

I still should make the peanut, etc. suet mix and smear it on the old nark of these trees...
I think I am afraid of the gooey mess it would be.,........:o
