“It’s a good thing y’all live out in the country”
Bird Feeder Installation by TR Williams.
We call it (anti-squirrel) Gate – in reference to Cristo, not the apartment building in Washington, D.C.
Though it might also be called the Williams family missile defense system — the missiles in this case being the squirrels themselves, launched from the tiniest branches of the nearby trees. Having been thwarted in their ground assaults, the squirrels adapted an aerial offensive. But our missile shield didn’t work any better than the one that has been abuilding for years in Washington. Just like the Pentagon, we found we needed a bigger snow saucer.
Instead, we took it down and added a squirrel feeder.
For those of you who know my unpublished work, this is our North Yard.
The quotation is from Janet, who shows up in my poems from time to time and now here she is on my blog. (This is a fictional Janet, by the way. The real Janet would never say “yall.”)
Addendum. Are The Gates really “Laura’s New Curtains?”
