It’s getting colder and look who’s back. Any suggestions on discouraging these visitors, besides Harry vs. Squirrel? Thanks!

runawaywidow
At the age of 51 I unexpectedly became a widow. For the first 6 months after my husband died, I was in shock and numb. I journaled and with the help of friends, family and therapists was able to get back to living my old life, even if it is now very different.
Before I was married, I had spent a semester in England and backpacked around Europe. My husband and I moved from New York to California for 8 years and started a family. Travelling took a back seat to raising a family and going to work everyday.
Since the loss of my husband I have visited a lot of places with family and friends and took a solo trip to Thailand. I am enjoying sharing my stories and adventures as well as some of my insights to how I am traveling the path of being a widow.
I hope to share my stories and adventures as well as some thoughts on being a middle aged widow. While I have some great experiences traveling to Thailand and cruising to Central America, some of my adventures involve a trip to see a Broadway show in nearby Manhattan and a shopping trip at Bed, Bath and Beyond. If I can inspire anyone to go out and continue to live a good life that would be my greatest accomplishment.

Love your Video! So impressed, as I doubt I would remain as calm in this situation. Had you advertised for a roomie? If so, cancel the ad.
lol. He is cute right?
Well, I can’t help you at all…we have absolutely no squirrels in New Zealand.
the closest animal we have to these are the imports from Aussie where their possum is a national treasure, here those same animals are a national pest!
Crazy dealing wit these pests. Especially by yourself
