I've been tirelessly watching and wondering about all these
goings on too?
Let me just tell you this thing on my deck was very pretty in color but it was loud
Mr. F was building new top pieces for our deck planters...
this time they are made of hardi planck which is cement based
It is the hope of Dad of the Manor that the squirrels will not be able to
eat through the tops of the planters any more.
Planters and deck before
our deck is 16 years old so the peeps decided to
to stain it Gray Birch rather than just a clear color.
It now has a new lease on life. The beige planter tops are the
the new 'squirrel proof' tops we hope.

There have been worker bees inside too. Of course I inspected things thoroughly..
OMCs this is Dad's train room what in the world is going on in there?
Come back on Friday to see what is behind the plastic curtain
Hurricane update:
We are as prepared as we can get here. Mom even has things ready for Sissy and BIL
and Mia and Frisco. Sissy and BIL were on vacation in Maine. They cut they vacation short by 3 days to get home. They knew the pet sitter would not be able to get the the kitties once the
storm hits. Sissy and BIL live on the NC Coast. They flew into Charlotte tonight.
When they arrived they found out their flight from Charlotte to New Bern was canceled due to
the pending storm. They rented a car in Charlotte for the 5 hour drive to New Bern airport where they left their car. WHAT A day full of stress for them. Mom told them they needed some serious kitty loving. We'll talk to them in the am to find out their plans.
PS I've never met Mia and Frisco...in the furs...just via PicMonkey. MOL
Mom says I have mellowed with age.
we hope the squirrels will stay away from your planters now... and we cross our paws for all epeople pets and the wildlife in the storm area...
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone stays safe from the hurricane. If Mia and Frisco come to stay I hope you will be the perfect hostess, Madi.
ReplyDeleteI hope the squirrel proofing works for your planters.
Hope your family will be ok!

I'm purring lots for you and your family - all of them - to stay safe, Madi! This hurricane sounds really scary.
ReplyDeleteYour deck is looking beautiful and we pray that Florence leaves it alone! Stay safe, guys - you are in our thoughts and prayers♥
ReplyDeleteThe deck looks great......we are hoping and praying that you won't lose power but this storm is a monster (eeek) and we mostly want you to be SAFE. It's good your Dad's eye surgery is over with though until the other eye is done AFTER the storm is long gone. We'll all be thinking about you - keep us posted!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy and Mom too
The deck does look mighty good. Sending tons of good thoughts for this darn hurricane. Wishing you all well over the next three or four days.
ReplyDeleteWell, you already know how much I love the deck. And you know I am praying for you all... Sissy, BIL, Frisco, and Mia too. Stay safe and I hope you have no damage. Florence sure has done some wandering around before she decided to get down to business. Prayers that she loses steam and all is well with you. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThose durn squirrels. They could destroy an anvil. Ya already know they got into our tater's this year. I think they are also some of culprits in the great pear theft of 2018 too.
ReplyDeleteI tried figuring out where you are all at in relation to the coast and naughty Florence's path. Maybe you can circle it all on a map for us.
Be safe, I hope Marlu and Greg - Mia and Frisco all come to your house. They look really close to the danger.
I hope all goes well and they can get to your house before the storm, they say today is the last day to get out... prayers for all of you and for them and their safety. the deck looks fantastic, but I am thinking good luck with keep squirrels out. ha ha… I don't like cliff hangers, how can I sleep wondering what is behind the curtain, also what is the weather gets to bad and you can't tell us on Friday?????
ReplyDeleteSquirrels!!! So ebil, they are very destructive critters.
ReplyDeletePlease stay as safe as possible during the storm. I think we're all quite tired of these too-big hurricanes by now.
We are praying for the best. Just be safe. Love the refurbished dexk...
ReplyDeleteWe have our paws crossed for all our friends in NC. It's too bad your sissy and BIL had to cut their vacation short but we know they needed to take care of their home and kitties. We hope you will be a gracious host if they need to stay with you.
ReplyDeleteThose evil squirrels can sure be pesty! We hope this works.
ReplyDeleteYou know we are purring and praying that you all stay safe.
Hugs,

Oh dear, more stress for Sissy and BIL, but for sure they'll be wanting to make sure they and the kitties are safe.
ReplyDeleteWe're crossing our paws that you and your whole family weather the storm safely!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting very nervous about this Florence storm, and wish she just peters out! Here's hoping all goes well for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteYour deck is looking lovely and we hope you have solved the problem of those tricky squirrels.
ReplyDeleteWe think it has to be very stressful there in NC for you and for all the others in the path of this horrible storm. We hope your Sissy and BIL as well as Frisco and Mia make it safely to your place. And then you ALL need to stay safe. Lots of prayers headed your way from OP.
