My husband and I have backyard issues …
Me: Can I plant morning glories on the back fence?
Sgt Yard Man: No. All those seeds will drop and spread all over my lawn.
Me: Can I get a hummingbird feeder?
Sgt Yard Man: No. You’ll get red juice all over the yard and it will stain my grass.
Me: Can I feed the squirrels?
Sgt Yard Man: No. They’ll want to come back for more and eat my tomatoes out of the garden. And dig up my lawn.
Me: Can I get one of those huge bird houses we saw in Kentucky?
Sgt Yard Man: No. It will attract bats.
Me: What about a little baby bird house?
Sgt Yard Man: No. They’ll eat berries and shit purple all over my patio. (He said the “S” word not me.)
I’m done asking. I need to get creative. No more asking. No more being told no. He has told me no for the last time. I’ll show him and his patio full of poo.
I’ll have more birds in my backyard than he has critters on the wall.
And he’ll never know why …
Have a good day all … Now I just need to figure out where to hang my morning glories.

I dunno, that looks like you are inviting seedy characters into the yard.
That picture is really adorable
And I really do like birdies in my back yard…poo and all. Sometimes you have to take the good with the poo
That’s a great picture!

Sorry spelt my name wrong in the last comment. lol!
Catherine, only you!

Just ran across your link on the WON and I am so glad I did. I am a hunters wife and a new hunter myself. Now I am reading your blog out loud to my hunter during the commercials on the outdoor channel and crying because I am laughing so hard. Thanks for letting other “hunter widows” know that there are others going through the same thing!
