Daily Stretches.
Stretch your muscles
to move about with ease.
Stretch your eyes open wide
to see the beauty in this world.
Stretch your mind
to explore new experiences.
Stretch your wallet
to give to those in need.
Stretch your heart
to give more love.
Stretch your imagination
to create art or music or beautiful words.
Stretch your arms open
to embrace in a hug.
Stretch!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

That’s about All you can do because you can’t keep them away from it. Maybe you can put out some “squirrel” food for them away from the feeders??

To stretch is the act of expanding beyond normal limits, you just have to admire the very concept of that! Love your inspirational thoughts and photo too! We should heed the determination and ingenuity of squirrels, they never give up trying. I just took all my feeders/bird houses down until after this coming storm passes the northeast. I don’t want them airborne. Thank-you for a lovely post!

Oh boy hope you hold tight during the storm. Ask Benjamin if this might be one of Earl’s friends or relatives. He comes every day. 😉
