Ferguson Sunbathes and Calling All Birds
Our patio faces west, so from about 1:00pm until 7:00pm, there is unobstructed sunlight hitting the sliding glass doors. I try to leave the vertical blinds open for him so he can bask in the sun since it is his favorite activity other than sniffing and walking.
The woman who lives on the other end of my building feeds the birds. There was a squirrel beneath her bird feeder when I walked by yesterday. !!!!! I love squirrels and there aren't enough of them around here. I also love birds and rabbits which are all in abundance in the basin my patio looks over. So, I decided to feed the birds/squirrels/rabbits/hummingbirds/whatever. The rabbit already gets lettuce, but I did need a bird feeder. Only I can make such a simple decision and turn it into an $80 shopping excursion. For real. I had to buy the super large pot with soil. Then I had to buy the flowers to put in the pot and the shepherd's hook. Not to mention the bird feeder and bird seed. Sheesh. However, I should have a teeming population of songbirds, hummingbirds, squirrels, and rabbits soon.
The little weirdo door to the left is a storage closet that I have filled with old pots and dried up soil.
