Good Will Woodpecker Hunting – Julie Devereaux

Home projects to continue through 2018!
What I really wanna do is have a sit down with that woodpecker and say: "hey. stop it! There's a thousand trees in our neighborhood! Go peck one of those! This figuring out where to hang a fake owl and party balloons to get you off my house is stressful! I cry easily and you're harshin' my new homeowner buzz!"

Just leaving Lowes Depot with my new weapon: the owl.

I also stopped at Party City for a couple balloons filled with helium cos I read woodpeckers don't like things blowing around them....or 'blowing up' around them if those balloons were filled with hydrogen...which I'm tempted....no. that's wrong Julie. I tethered them to my down spout which I'm sure is a bad idea but it's all I could come up with at the moment. (one of my neighbors walking by asked me if I was having a party. yea. a party for one Woody Woodpecker!)

Also attached to my downspout, the new neighborhood predator in chief...at least that's what I'm hoping the woodpecker thinks when he spots him...which hopefully he will.
