The dogs and I heard a knock at the door and we all went running down the stairs to see who it was. I looked out the window: no one! I opened the door and looked to see if I could spot my neighbor walking away. No one.
It was a mystery.
Who could disappear like that?
Who would knock and run away? There are no kids in my neighborhood. Hmmmm.
Then I sat down at my computer,
opened the window blinds,
looked outside
and the mystery was solved.
It's a Hairy Woodpecker. These guys have been naughtily stuffing sunflower seeds into holes they drill in my siding. And I left them a perfectly good tall tree stump that is positively stuffed with spruce bark beetle larvae, too! The nerve! Of course beetle larvae don't keep all winter, this is true. However they need to stop peckering away at my house. At least I do know there aren't bugs in my house, now that I know they are using it for storage.
I put in a fenced back yard for the dogs but was unable to afford the cost of a back door!
If you could donate any amount it would be greatly appreciated.
Look at it this way, I could have put ads on my blog. But yuck! Instead, I have one ad to help create a back door so we won't burn up if there is a fire. Isn't that worth it?
