For a 3D puzzle of St. Basil's with LED accents, 6 hours over 2 days actually doesn't sound like much time. But I'm not a puzzle enthusiast.
New York boy stuns family with $2,618 Amazon order for SpongeBob popsicles
The Revolving Rooftop Lounge has many, many treats to choose from. Sadly, sponge-flavored popsicles are not one of them.

ps @tgraf66 love your buildings- esp the Burj!
This was THE BEST story! I read it to my whole family and we were dying of laughter. Love the ending too. Thank you!
it has come to my attention that

Jeanne,
If the squirrels are wiping out the birdseed, you could always order a unicorn-head squirrel feeder from Archie McPhee. They will still steal it, but they look ridiculous doing it and you can take their picture to shame them even further.
If these grackles are willing to eat the wild rabbits that devastate my zinnias, dahlias and lettuce every year, I'll take a few. My children were commenting the other day that it's almost time for Mom's yearly Hare War.
Edited to add that no rabbits are harmed. I keep them away with an organic product that reeks like rotten eggs...keeps everyone else out of the garden area as well.
I'm used to it, and if you wear a mask, you can hardly smell it. ?

First, grackles eat rabbits?
Second, What is that organic product? I keep deer away by whipping up eggs with five parts water and spraying on everything they like. To the deer, it smells like rotten eggs, but we can't smell it. But it doesn't bother the rabbits.
Third, I would like to report to @Unk-p that the grackles are still here. But if they would take away some rabbits, that would be acceptable. How do I get them to do that?
I don't know if they do, but they are smart, and I could become a part-time grackle trainer.
I tried to order a Tasmanian Devil from the Tasmanian-Devils-For-Your-Garden-Rabbit-Problem-Store, but the shipping was too high and they wanted me to sign a liability release form.
All kidding aside, I have two different kinds I use. One is called Liquid Fence Deer and Rabbit that works pretty well. I'll have to look tomorrow to check the brand on the other bottle I have. There is also a brand called Nature's Mace (pet and people safe) but I haven't tried it. They make lots of eco-friendly sprays now, and for the deer you can also buy pouches that you hang on or near the trees. We have them in our fruit tree orchard and they work pretty well. You can usually buy them at your gardening store, or order them from an online gardening store. If you google deer repellent pouches, lots of places that carry them will pull up.
ya'll are hilarious tonight, talking about all these birds and bunnies and things. It is s o obvious that you are just having a cat deficiency. Down here in Houston we got other problems. Like, for instance, tigers. My Ma is so worried about that tiger- she is like, "It must be hungry. Do we still have any Fancy Feast in the (giant school cafeteria size) cans?" Happy weekend everyone! here is a video- Mr. Poly Dactyl Cat https://youtu.be/OlrT_u-lCrQ
I enjoyed this report on CBS news this am... and.. I believe many have talked about the increase of urban community gardening: https://www.cbsnews.com/video/community-gardens-decorate-new-york-citys-urban-landscape/
Good for humans and critters!
Unk, I thought you were kidding until I read the news! ?
I have learned to just go with the flow and feed whoever comes hungry. I get all kinds of birds,squirrels,chipmunks,opossums,raccoons,armadilloes,deer,rabbits,feral cats,stray dogs, the occasional fox etc. There seems to be a beacon Light posted here that says if you are hungry or sick stop in here. The human here will help all she can. This special little guy was born here last Spring and watching him grow and thrive got me thru the worst days of the Pandemic. Sadly, one of the ferals or hawks must have caught him - I never saw him again after mid November of last year and he was a daily visitor all of those months before. I felt he was a special Gift from Creator...who came to help me❤️???❤️
His first appearance with his mom and sibling last Spring?
@journeywithme2. Those are chipmunks. I thought you were talking about a squirrel?
@jeanne-mayell. No ma'am , I was talking about the chipmunks :-). I named him Snowie. He was a white chipmunk.. not albino.. his eyes were brown not red/pink. Born completely white and as he matured very light smoke gray colored hairs appeared as his chipmunk stripes. I laughed constantly at his and his sisters antics and play. I loved seeing them pack their cheeks so full the seeds fell out as they scurried back to their homes. I do have plenty of squirrels here too though. Snowie and his sister Brownie became almost tame and wouldn't even run away when I would go out to refill their seeds "bowls" They were such fun and brought me much Joy.
Not about birds, chipmunks or squirrels but - our yard is a haven of misfit wilderness and when going out for Week 7 Day 2 of Couch to 5K this morning (Another story for another time) one of our crab apple trees was starting to be in bloom, even in spite of the weather we’ve been having and all the frosts that have kept me from gardening. Thought I’d share this lovely 6 a.m. photo with y’all!
