Thanks for the wonderful and extremely generous offer, KIM, but looking at the tree outside it somehow didn't seem that the limb was so far up the tree. I'll attach a photo and you can check the XXX mark. Our ladders don't even go that far! I'll have to see if there's a flat enough surface on the tree to put a bracket to hold the basket.

Interesting idea, Jan. I'll consider it once the storm passes. There might not be a tree! It's a Box Elder - very soft wood and my own fault that I allowed it to grow there: live and learn.

Somehow my climbing a huge ladder and attempting something so daring reminds me of when I thought it might be a neat idea to use the leaf blower to get dog hair out of the kitchen radiators. Do not try it! Pictures go flying, glass breaks, all the dog hair goes flying...but I was hysterical laughing so it was chalked up as another "life experience I wouldn't repeat".
