If they wanted to get through it, that pagewire would be as effective as tissue paper. I often hear them snorting in the woods nearby and I'm definitely cautious whenever I'm out. I usually carry bear spray and noisemakers and a walkie-talkie if I'm going to be farther away than a hundred-yard dash to the house. So far, so good...Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-30173736751991293332018-03-06T15:22:32.430-04:002018-03-06T15:22:32.430-04:00Yikes - well at least deer don't try to have y...Yikes - well at least deer don't try to have you for lunch!

You are smart to feed the birds separately so everyone will get something and the smaller birds will not suffer. <br /><br />My father didn't quit smoking until he was a lot older. It contributed to his breathing problems when he was older, no doubt about it. But people didn't know that back in the 1940s to 1970s. And many people were hooked on cigarettes by then.<br /><br />Take care also, baili my friend!jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-28057965551870994472018-03-05T02:22:00.752-04:002018-03-05T02:22:00.752-04:00Ah breathing in fresh soothing environment is bles...Ah breathing in fresh soothing environment is blessing we take granted often Jenny<br /><br />i am happy you felt the lightness of beautiful weather and chiliness of breeze .<br />my father smoked after each meal and mom asked him to do it in front yard instead of room where we were sitting.<br />later when we grew young we asked father to quit smoking but he did not though he cared for our objection to smoke near us.<br /><br />Here crows are in abundance than any other species of bird so feeding bird is quite hard because crows attack as they will took away the home along (so many crows) so we find it easy to put left overs or any other grains spread outside on any empty place where they can eat without making mess or beating other cute birds.<br /><br />this winter when when a man (labour) cut the long branches of our Neem tree we saw the huge nest of crows built up of iron wires and we were amazed to see the carnation of those clever creatures .<br /><br />yes i can see the both crows here so well ,great shot!<br /><br />hope you will take good care of yourself dear friend!bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-3276420972971815992018-03-04T21:49:56.489-04:002018-03-04T21:49:56.489-04:00It was so common back then - very different now!

My Mum and Dad smoked like chimneys and we often had to open the door of the lounge to let the smoke out, you couldn't see across the room.

You don't get too much of that these days, especially when you're living in a city.<br /><br />Since we're close in age, I too grew up around many, many smokers. I even became one at some point but thankfully finally quit it. Back then just about everyone smoked. There was a doctor my mom used to take us kids to when we were young and he smoked in his office while he spoke to my mom after he examined us. Then he'd take a puff of his cigarette and look at us and say "Don't ever smoke. Nasty habit."
