Some birds cover themselves in ants to use the ant’s acid to kill the mites and parasites on their feathers.
Our sun has about 20 orbits around the Milky Way before it runs out of fuel.
Each Galactic Year (one trip around the Milky Way) takes the Sun about 225 million years, which means that the last time the Sun was in this neighborhood, the T-rex didn’t even exist yet.
Put out a new squirrel proof bird feeder…We shall see. 
I created a pigeon proof squirrel feeder in my yard. Working like champ.
I had a fox attack in my chicken coup, so I spent 6 hours fortifying it.
Lost 6 chickens, and the rest are stressed now. No eggs for me this week.
I swear, some chickens’ owners…

Buttered toast dipped into my tea is a wonderful Sunday treat.
Sounds better that my English Muffin this morning…

Panera Sourdough bread toasted with butter and a good cup of instant coffee with Kit Kat creamer. A great way to start the morning.
I trapped a possum right outside the coup and disposed of him this morning. Grabbed spare lumber and made more fortifications to the coup.
I’ll line that ■■■■■■ in concertina wire if I have to, but my breakfast butt nuggets will be kept safe!
We have an invasion of moles. Three new mole holes appeared since I mowed this morning.
I had groundhogs here for the longest time, until their population got out of control and they started doing real damage around the property. They ate this poison, and so did the moles.
I now have a pleasantly large population of cotton tail rabbits instead.

For this problem, dispense with the physical barriers. I recommend a no trespass sign, preferably with high fines, to deter these potential intruders.

You would think no solicitation signs would keep people from knocking on my door. I confronted one of them and politely asked. Did he honestly believe he would make a sale to someone with a clearly posted no solicitation sign? Why would he waste his time knocking on my door?
His bewildered look of puzzlement led me to wonder if he could even read.
I too have clearly posted No Solicitation signs, plural, and yet I still have solicitors ringing my doorbell and desperately knocking on my door. I see them on my security cameras and Blink Doorbell and just ignore them.
You’ve got to wonder what they are thinking. For me that would be a big red flag telling me I won’t make a sale there. That would make it easier, allowing me to focus on those houses where I just might have a chance.
Staked all of my pepper plants with my new Tape Gun…
Finally put out all of my yard decorations for the summer.
No birds or squirrels around my bird feeder…
