These beauties visit our backyard regularly and we love it! We believe in "Live & Let Live". They're all so beautiful and entertaining! I'll probably go shopping for a bird bath or two soon so I can encourage more visitors, including bees. As far as squirrels, I make sure to feed them away from the house and I don't feed them too much, I don't want them to become dependent on us. :) I do have a feeder for them to reach and two other feeders that are just for the birds. We have rabbits that live in our front yard so we're careful to not blow all the leaves away or clean up too well. lol
We're also trying to be careful when treating our yard for fleas, weeds, etc.. We use soap & water or vinegar as much as possible. Vinegar is a favorite for me when cleaning inside, but I prefer the smell of lemons.
Any of you have cleaning advice to share? I would love to hear it. :)

| This little guy is extra special to me. He is the squirrel that welcomed us here when we first moved in. He was quite young and brave. Not everyone is kind to furry visitors. He is the only one that will walk up to the sliding glass doors and say hi to our pups. :) |
