Please be sure to put a container filled with water out for the birds, squirrels and whatever wildlife may be in need. I have a large foil container that I put in the shade and refill when it begins to run low. It's amazing to see the birds and squirrels flock to it and is so heartwarming.
Thanks in advance.
