Give the Squirrels a Place to Eat
Thanks to an overnight Instagram success, squirrel picnic tables are all the rage these days. These cute tables attach right to your fence and allow some backyard friends to snack on nuts and seeds in peace.
You can buy one or make one yourself if you’re handy. All you need is some scrap wood, a drill and some screws, and a bit of patience. If you want to be really fancy, why not stain your squirrel picnic table so that it matches the fence? If you have small children, they are guaranteed to love checking out the critters feasting away at the picnic table.
