What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

Maybe this post will be more interesting, as I strive to fulfill my purpose in the Mindsay community of enlightening fellow bloggers to the bliss of country life.

A couple of weeks ago, I hung two woodpecker feeders in the tree outside our dining room window, as we have a small family of woodpeckers that claim this particular tree as 'home.' As you will see from these pictures, almost every creature on the place has visited the feeders...EXCEPT the WOODPECKERS for whom they were hung.

I tried to hang them far enough off branches that squirrels couldn't reach them (they have thier OWN corn cob feeder in the back yard). I did not know that a squirrel could stretch his body to at least double his normal length while hanging from his tiny toes. I have learned something new about wildlife today and am inspired by the resourcefulness and fitness of the determined amongst us. Just goes to prove...where there's a will, there's a way.
