We feed the birds and squirrels with a bird feeder in both the back patio and in the front yard by the walkway leading up to the front door.
We also place seed and peanuts on a stone in the back patio for the squirrels on the ground.
This morning there are 3 squirrels out there rummaging through the mulch looking for stray seed. Hubby has usually fed them by now but he slept late and is running late this morning.

I'm sure the birds and squirrels appreciate your efforts.

I used to have a bird feeder, but the squirrels took it over. Meanwhile, the birds were eating the squirrel food. Now I have plastic shelves out there and spread the feed out over them and let them pick and choose what they want. Amazing how the birds and a squirrel can sit on the same shelf in peace…but let another squirrel come close….

Nice of you and your hubby to feed squirrels outside of your home.

I saw at Food Lion they were selling squirrel food next to the bird seed, and it cost less. Maybe I will buy some in the fall, as they are trying desperately to fatten up for the winter then.
