Out-matched by squirrels :P

The squirrels have managed to chew a large hole through the container where I keep all the bird food/seeds. I am amazed that they were able to do that. The container is pretty sturdy, or so I thought. They are after the sunflower seeds mostly, but chewed a hole in the bag of raisins too. I've wedged a piece of wood where the hole is, but I have little confidence that will deter them for very long. I wish the seeds, peanuts, and apples I put out for them would satisfy them enough so they don't go after the rest of the supply.

It is pleasant sitting at the desk by the window upstairs. I can hear the birds chirping all day and I can see the water. The only thing I don't like is that I can also hear construction work as well. I really need to redouble my efforts to switch to a more "normal" schedule. It'd be better for me if I could be awake longer when the sun is out. More time to soak in the light, more time to listen to the birds.
