We are having cicadas now and have lost our red-bellied woodpeckers at the suet feeder = none; I think they are gorging on the cicadas and don't need the suet (I hope that's the reason because I can hear them out in the woods)<br /><br />Thanks, Debbie. Right now a different kind of painting is going on = trying to get the deck painted in between rain showers!! My body is aching from the hours bent and twisting and climbing ladders and painting painting painting - but it will look great when finished. Only about 1/4 done so far and we had a thunderstorm last night (that was NOT supposed to happen - I have given up on the weathermen/women predicting anything).RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7104034804712021440.post-16358621962412438552017-05-30T13:45:00.755-04:002017-05-30T13:45:00.755-04:00Rhonda - your painting is looking good.

So glad he wasn't hurt either. Have a super week.
