OT- Finch feeders
I haven't been doing much quilting lately, only at my guild
meetings. At home I just made some cloth tubes to hold thistle seed. I have been buying them but something is tearing them open and spilling the seed out so buying them got too expensive. I bought some $1-a-yard sheer knit at Wal-Mart I hope will work and sewed up 8 of them to try. 2 are just tubes, but the others I divided by filling partway, sewing across, and filling again, so if they are torn only part of the seed will spill out. The first one I had out yesterday disappeared overnight, and the hook was knocked over. I suspect raccoons. If it happens again I may have to give up feeding the goldfinches. They are so pretty to watch. It is funny how satisfying it is to feed birds & other creatures. People get a lot of satisfaction feeding ducks, pigeons, seagulls, koi, etc. that don't offer any other return except the fun of watching them. Maybe I don't like feeding the raccoons because I can't watch, or maybe because they are so destructive and greedy they don't leave anything for the birds. Jane in NE Ohio, where we are finally getting some rain. The corn (maize to you Brits) is finally in tassel here, & the tomatoes are ripening finally. Soon we will have locally grown produce instead of the durable but plasticy tasting stuff that is shipped in to the supermarkets. |
