| Charlie Sue raced a squirrel today. She loves them. |
Someone wanted a lot of hummingbird feeders and I wanted share them, so the hummingbird fan got the poles, feeding liquid, and hummer feeder. The birds were an instant hit and immediately loved the set up.
I gave the couch-bed for someone and moved the massive coffee table (more like an aircraft carrier) to the open space.
Good friends pulled back the living room curtains and the easy chair took on an extra client - Charlie Sue. She jumped onto it, with me beneath, and positioned herself for a double window with birds and squirrels enjoying the food and frolics.
The animals are almost immune to movement on the other side of the window. A second pole feeder easily doubled the feeding chances for everyone. My first look at the double set-up meant - the female cardinal fed first, the male landed next to her, and a starling made it a threesome for lunch. That was one of two large square spaces to investigate and share.
Tiny birds fly from two Clethra bushes, on each side of bird feeders. That adds to the fun. Clethra's do not hold a lot of birds, but they harbor the tiny ones as they back-and-forth over the bountiful food.
When I left to get some groceries, Charlie Sue jumped on the easy chair during the interim.
Our entertainment center is overly sunlit now, so we have bamboo hanging three feet down from the porch beam.
Another benefit is observing the cul-de-sac traffic, from post office to Amazon to various other adventures.
