Our Mission: The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans. In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support. The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer. If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions. We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.

Thanks for the beautiful pic Alfa . . . hope your 12 hour (Yikes!) shift on Sunday goes by quickly.
We're looking at a gorgeous day to be out with all the birdies! We're still waiting for one of these guys to show up in our back yard.
Don't they know we have the best peanut-butter suet cakes in all of Santa Clarita? Maybe it's our marketing plan.

I will have to add that pic to my "BOIDS" folder.
The day is half over only 6 more hours to go :-)

Concierge: Who d'ya want?
Leo Bloom: I beg your pardon?
Concierge: Who d'ya want? Nobody gets in the building unless I know who they want. I'm the "concierge". My husband used to be the "concierge", but he's dead. Now I'M the "concierge".
Max Bialystock: We are seeking Franz Liebkind.
Concierge: Oh... the Kraut! He's on the top floor, apartment 23.
Max Bialystock: Thank you...
Concierge: ...But you won't find him there... he's up on the roof with his boids. He keeps boids. Dirty... disgusting... filthy... lice-ridden boids. You used to be able to sit out on the stoop like a person. Not anymore! No, sir! Boids!... You get my drift?
Leo Bloom: We... uh... get your "drift". Thank you, madam.
Concierge: I'm not a "madam"! I'm a "concierge"!
Of course you do? Now just where did you hang that feeder? What I need is recent photos of your backyard sanctuary.
1st ? should have been an !
I should have sent you a better suet feeder. One with a tail prop for the woodpeckers. Got any chickadees? or Bushtits? they like suet and can eat from the small cage.

Thanks for the link to talking proud.
I'll post a pic of where I hung suet feeder. I'm sure the one we have will suffice. I know we have bushtits and black phoebes but I'm not sure about the chickadees . . . I'll have to look more carefully. They really have some cute markings.
xoxox
I just hope someone is eating the suet!
