Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Squirrels In Your Feeder?


I happen to love squirrels! Their agility and tenacity never fail to amuse me and they are adorable, but if you have a problem with them in your bird feeder try this tip.

Add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the birdseed before you add it to the feeder. The birds like the hot flavor but the squirrels will shy away from it and the problem will be solved.

Perhaps their own feeder a little further away from the birds will satisfy them and keep their attitude at bay.

Hi Laura! Been a LONG time. I hope your doing well. I'm slowly finding my way back to blogging. I'm no longer working outside the home, being diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer end of Sept. I'm currently doing well, and pray i continue to do so. I'm concentrating on my business now that i"m not working. How is your business doing?

Stop by again soon!
