Had never thought of that being a possibility but we always have little bits of cooked meat fall through the grill. They would provide a feast to a hungry varmint. onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-29508152254940235842021-06-04T16:45:31.747-04:002021-06-04T16:45:31.747-04:00The flowers are perfect for red, white and blue.

We had an issue a few years ago in our grill. <br />Have a nice weekend.

Hopefully, the eucalyptus spray along with giving it a good scrub after using will do it!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-32163267167241787282021-06-03T10:34:22.514-04:002021-06-03T10:34:22.514-04:00Thank you!

We still have it, just haven't used it in over a year. OS has it right now. Now we're using a tent, and we sleep on cots ('cause this old lady isn't about to sleep on the ground!). It's actually a lot faster to set up and tear down than it was with the trailer!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-27586859162031911342021-06-03T10:27:49.745-04:002021-06-03T10:27:49.745-04:00Oh, my!

Either way, relocating the bird feeder is probably a smart move. Good luck. The camping trip sounds awesome...have a great time!

The key may be cleaning it all the time (though you may do that already and they're just curious). Your camping trips sound fun. My hubby isn't a big camper, and I think at this point I'd only do it if we had a trailer, which we don't so, no camping for us.Kirstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792132554787453551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-44697187811308081492021-06-02T16:53:55.302-04:002021-06-02T16:53:55.302-04:00I work in a church and over the last few weeks . ....I work in a church and over the last few weeks . . .we've had church mice. Seriously. They got into the communion to go cups (pandemic!) and ate 200 little crackers!! It looked like they had a drunken party but it was just grape juice!

Then the scouring had to happen, such a pain. I'm not sure what the answer might be...maybe someone at Ace or Lowes would have a suggestion. Hope you enjoy your vacation and everyone is doing well.
