My Actifit Report Card: January 17 2022
Hey everybody and thanks for stopping by!
Today was a planned shopping day for Costco. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve gone, and I was running low on some necessities that are obtainable only there. I also tend to not take pics when shopping 😏
So, I will share some from the past few days! 😎
Peak-a-boo sunset from last night.
The fungi from yesterday’s hike.
Then, there was this little guy!
I like squirrels 🐿-I do! But, this guy is my nemesis! Every fall, he steals ALL of the walnuts off my tree before I have a day off and can get to them. Then, just yesterday, I put out a peanut suet block for the wintering birdies. Mr. squirrel is supposed to be hibernating! Apparently though, he is not. After hanging it in what I thought was a safe place, turns out he’s a gymnast! He knocked that block right out and proceeded to have himself a feast!🙀
I went out and chased him off; retrieved the suet and bird feeder and brought them in. No free meals for him!!
I consulted an online birder site and found out that apparently hot chili peppers do not phase the birds, but Mr. squirrel will actually stay away from it by smell alone, or should he be squirrelly enough to try it, will regret having done so. It will cause the same burn/sting we get when we eat hot spices! I took hot pepper flakes and have been letting olive oil pull the capsaicin out. Also while out today, I purchased hot sauce. Hey! Maybe I should coat the walnut shells (when they’re green)and maybe I might get one or two walnuts this fall! 🤔
Well, that’s it for now. They are calling for rain tomorrow, but I’m hoping it doesn’t. Another hike before I go back to work on Wednesday would be nice! Take care all! 👣🐑☕️😎👍🤔😁😴

I have read the same thing about putting chilli out but never tried it. Would be interesting to see if the birds don't mind it.
I love Costco although that is a store I have to drive to so need to be more organised.
I'll let you know about the birds. Costco is definitely not close to me either, hence the bi-monthly trips. Take care!

That such a cute squirrel! He looks like he's waiting for you to serve him dinner!
He's my nemesis, lol! Take care!
🤣😂That cracked me up
Glad you found a solution
... and wait! coating the walnuts? 😂
I hope you take the hike, would love more mountain pictures.
Entertaining read as always, love to come here to unwind alil.
Much love to you 🤗💜
Today, I found him eating the last of the pumpkins that are hanging around outside! Silly squirrel-doesn't he know they've been snowed on and probably aren't too good for you? It's his belly I suppose! I haven't gotten to the suet coating yet, as I had things to do today, and now my workweek begins tomorrow. It might be Saturday before I give it a trial. Thanks for commenting @queenstarr and have a lovely day sis!💜🤗🌻
😂Hilarious
Well i hope the chilli smekl works or I'd be sad on how he'll struggle as day with the chikli upsetting his organs.
So 🤞🤞
Would love to know what's happened😂
Love you back💜🤗💜
I will keep you posted sis! Hugs and kisses!💜🤗🌻😘
