Hi Spud, how nice to hear from your neck of the woods...
lizards bathing, chickens and small birds, horses rolling in fennel sounds ah, so sensible and *good*. I had a pair of chameleons when I was a little girl. I'm not "allowed" to do anything for the animals around here--since it will encourage them... And of course people traditionall hate squirrles, and fear thier diseases. But I've dusted the railing with the DE where the squirrles leap off the yew tree and like to gallop down the balcony to another tree, checking out the plants as they go, and the compost. And I think I may be thereby able to turn them on to the notion of a little dusting or bathing or somesuch. Thanks for the encouragement. I also like the nut ball treat idea.
