Thanks Ed, I 'm glad to see movement in my yard too, any kind of movement is much appreciated

I did not take a single squirrel in the off-season in hopes they reproduce and multiply a little, so that's why I got a few youngsters running around
Cody: Yeah they get pretty fat before they hybernate. I had not seen the young one across the street on the neighbor's lawn for 2-3 weeks (wasn't really watching for it) but saw it about 7-10 days ago when it was around 55deg. out, and it had gotten very fat!
Yeah it's been raining for about 3 days now. I got snow and sleet on Thursday - all day and night! It was only 34-35deg. and none of it was sticking which was good. They said in the news it had not snowed here this far south in NY in the middle of October for 30yrs. I think we are going to have a bad winter but I really hope we don't. Where is the Global warming? I don't see it

Even the summer was mild. I don't think we had a single 100deg. day and only like 1 week that was in the 90's. It was actually a very nice summer w/temps mostly in the low-mid 80's and 70's. I know because my electric bill was one of the lowest this summer. Didn't have the A/C running all the time like other summers.
