The Squirrel Saga Continues

One look at the first pic tells all.

The squirrels have our bird feeders figured out.

Initially Saeed tried to prevent them from eating the bird food. This proves to be difficult as squirrels are cunning acrobats with very sharp teeth. Somehow they always got to the bird food and Saeed gave up; if you can't beat them, feed them.

But like teenage boys these squirrels are eating the food faster than we can buy it, so my yard boy is back at his task of trying to prevent them from eating it quite so quickly with some "squirrel baffles."

The little bubsy was on the deck completely fixated with what his Grandpa was doing in the backyard.

When Saeed came closer Cyrus tried to open the gate, but alas, it was shut tight.

Like animals at the zoo, these two had to interact through the wires of the cage.

Somebody even got his fingers kissed.

Shirin went down to help Saeed hold the pole straight and I noticed...

... that the Granny Smith apples on our apple tree are starting to look really nice! I guess the squirrels will punish Saeed by eating his apples instead of the bird food. Sigh... nature always wins.

If it were not our house that you portrayed in your blogg's photos, I would have really been envious of those who lived there; all these magnificent cats inside and all the fauna amongst lush flora outside. What a life to live so close to nature!!
