Oh Lisa,

Can you see my cheeks blushing across the internet! You&#039;ve just made my day. And I&#039;m beyond tickled to have the whole family onboard! 😘❤😘

I&#039;ve received some great suggestions relating to the birds! One I&#039;m going to try immediately is hanging red Christmas ornaments...the birds peck and don&#039;t like hitting a hard surface. I imagine that would be harder with fruit trees. 

Another suggestion was lines of fishing lines...they don&#039;t see the lines and don&#039;t like hitting them, thus avoiding the area...possibly. Not sure if that&#039;s feasible with your fruit trees, either. Good Luck! I guess misery loves company, anyway!

Have a fantastic day and thanks so much for your lovely note!

Hugs, Lynn]]></description>

Hi JoAnne,

I&#039;m so glad you found us! I started this little blog several years ago and still love every minute I work on it. But truly, it would not be any fun without readers like you on the other end of my musings, recipes and projects. 

I received so many great bird suggestions after Monday&#039;s plea, so I&#039;m going to give some of them a whirl. I&#039;ll keep everyone posted.

Thanks again for joining our little group and for taking the time to write in! Both are very much appreciated.

Hugs, Lynn]]></description>

Hi Chris,

Hmmm...we have one water fountain right near the garden, but I&#039;d gladly put a few more out! That&#039;s a great suggestion. Thanks

As it relates to the pillow, I&#039;m picturing that you&#039;ll just need to sew the top and bottom...is that right? If so, that&#039;s a great idea! Let me know if I understand correctly and how it turns out! I&#039;d love to see a picture. What yarn did you use?

Hi Joan,

We did not try the owls yet, but will order some today. And I had read about strands of fishing line, but had forgotten about that! I need to figure out how to make that work...need to noodle on that. Thanks so much for the suggestions!

Hugs, Lynn]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey, I can think of a couple things for the bird problem.  One is owls.  They sell large plastic owls in some of the gardening stores, as most birds are afraid of owls.  (Agway, Rural King, etc.)  Even better if they move a bit on a pole top, or swing or maybe move them around.  The other thing I see down here in Florida at outdoor restaurants is they crisscross the outdoor seating area with fish line because if they come down, they hit the line since it is kind of invisible. That scares them off a bit.  Of course they soon find ways to walk in from the floors, but it does keep them away from the tables.  But I think you have fencing anyway.  I hope maybe one of these can help. 🤞🏻]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Love your newsletters; your information is always fun and informative, never useless!! :-) You have tried all of my tips to keep critters from your tomatoes; guess a green house might be in your cards for next year! Or a friendly neighborhood owl?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lynn, This may sound counter intuitive but I have found having a water source for birds helps keep them from raiding my fruit trees and tomatoes. I keep different size/depth containers for the birds (&#038;bees!) all with a rock above the surface (so the lizards can climb out) throughout my yard.
Here&#039;s a question about the Christmas pillow. I made 5 last year as gifts that were very well received. I just finished one that I knit in the round reducing 4  stitches with the new row starting at center back. I did a provisional cast on and have my live stitches on Waste yarn waiting to be blocked. I will Kitchener stitch the bottom and top after the pillow goes in. It looks good size wise, the step is in un noticeable in the pattern to my eye so far. So the question is...what do you think or know that I don&#039;t since you do front and back pieces? 
Thanks, Chris]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I absolutely love this webpage! I love everything about it! I’m especially drawn to the recipes and knit projects and love that there’s not so much stuff popping up everywhere that you can’t stand to try and get through it. 😳  My daughter and granddaughters are fans too, seems like I’m always saying - I saw something Lynn had on the Nourish and Nestle site you guys would love. 😊  You made me giggle this morning referencing the heat and pesky birds. I’m feeling like same pain, but instead of the tomatoes, it’s our fruit we’re trying to protect. Anyway keep up the good work!]]></description>
