LOL I am so glad you like him quiltermomma! I don't care for squirrels in my yard. They eat my flower bulbs and young shoots up. But, when I lived in davenport, Ia., they had black ones in our neighborhood. They were fun to watch. A city to the north of us had white ones they prized highly. They would put corn on the cob up in the trees for them on a wooden holder.

fWhat is really funny is that we have a telephone pole next to our front porch at office. They hang upside down from their back legs/paws and eat the nuts we put out for them. We do not do shelled nuts anymore because they got so messy, but I buy the whole shelled nuts and there is less mess. I had a momma one a couple of years ago and she could come into the office onto the file cabinet and sit and eat the nuts with me at my desk watching her. She did not care and was not afraid of you. She had four babies in one of the spool wire reals on the warehouse shelf. She got ran over and we rescued the babies and took to the vet which is "licensed" to take care of baby squirrels.

Huh... That will be a little while quiltermomma! I have been pitting cherries like crazy and freezing them for later use. I have done half a five gallon bucket so far. The birds of the neighborhood think that my tree is the party place and I am picking as fast as I can ahead of them.

Then I am doing my major cleaning for the summer. I do that four times a year when the next season begins.

I did finish up the binding on another charity quilt yesterday. The pile is getting much lower now. Only five left to quilt and bind and I will be finished for the year on those.

I was over at elenore burns site this morning. She has the cutiest pumpkin farm pattern! I might have to buy that one.

See those crows are eating your cherries as well. Shame on them. Send me a batch. They sound good. Fresch cherry jam, yum. Then when you bring on over those cherries, you can clean my house as well. the walls need washed and painted while your at it. I will do those charity quilts for ya while you clean.
