I tried one of those cones last year Ally, silly squirrels figured out how to get around that! We also put those plastic "spiky" strips on the tree limb where the feeder was hanging, keeps the birds from nesting in areas we didn't want them to be, but the squirrels just walked right across them, I've also used fishing line, to hold the feeder down from the limb, they figured out how to get to the feeder that way too! even tried pepper and hot sauce smeared on the branches! crazy squirrels here!

There are certain deadly moments and minutes that matter. 

Certain key points in the history of every human being. 

Some seconds are so decisive that they shrink the soul, 

while others are consumed, expanding it.

Hi Ally! Since we have ice and snow in our weekend forecast, (starting Friday night) I've moved our bird feeder closer to our back porch, the birds have already discovered it there! LOL!  I like it where I have it now, because I can see it from inside the living room, from my chair...today I saw a Cardinal couple, 2 doves, & several sparrows &  wrens., the best part, the squirrels haven't discovered it yet. They can clear out my feeder in minutes! LOL

Don't let the memories of your past 

limit the potential of your future. 

There are no limits to what you can achieve 

on your path through life, except in your mind.

This is pretty much how it's going to look here, where i live.  We are under a Winter Storm Watch from Friday through Sunday.                                                               

Enjoy your Thursday. 

have a lovely day Ally .
