Lots of cardinals and squirrels so far, plus a few Southern Tiny Brown Birds. (I'm a horticulturalist, not an ornithologist.

The chances of it coming down in a heavy windstorm and hitting the house made the decision to take it out easier. We sought a professional opinion beforehand as it was too much tree for us to handle.Beatrice P.

Oh no! Can you plant another maybe ornamental tree or such?<br /><br />Hey Ken! thanks! I don't feel wonderful but I am able to putter around doing a little here and there! That's better than nothing! Yeah, that was Jack's design on the rope!MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-61649318246855245082014-01-22T09:39:28.831-06:002014-01-22T09:39:28.831-06:00So glad you are feeling better and are up and abou...So glad you are feeling better and are up and about the farm again. The rope on the bird feeder to be able to raise and lower it is clever. And always love the photos of those interesting chickens! Be careful with felling falling trees!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852999482979574587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-40159162003590128892014-01-22T09:24:27.697-06:002014-01-22T09:24:27.697-06:00I only had one tree in my tiny yard and I had to c...I only had one tree in my tiny yard and I had to cut it down. I would leave black gunk on the house and then it caused dry rot. Some trees will grow right to your water lines and we know that isn't very good.<br /><br />I wish I lived where there are more bird varieties.

Unfortunately, I have a large stand of trees that people just let go and in these last two stressful years, they have died because they weren't healthy and I've cut down over two dozen of them. The ones that are left aren't specimen trees but I'm hoping that their health returns now that they have some room to grow and they will be around awhile.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.com
