Slinky vs. Squirrel

We have been using the ol' Slinky trick on the bird feeder this summer, and the squirrels have given up.

Fall Color to Inspire You

Dale came home from Kansas City today and was so excited about the beauty of the fall leaves we grabbed the camera and drove around town a while, snapping photos of the neighborhood trees. Perhaps the extra moisture we had this summer, or the warm fall days have lead to the spectacular color in the trees. But they are certainly at their peak this weekend, and the weather is warm! 75º on November 2. We were actually able to seal our deck today, expecting no freezing weather for at least two more days. The colors are inspiring me - must get back to my studio in the morning to create something red, orange and yellow.
