A Mystery

 

Do you remember this post?

 

It was about the little wire heart hanger filled with yarn for the beautification

and comfort of the neighborhood birds nests.

 

 I happily hung it on a little branch in one of our trees.

 

And waited.  And waited.  And waited.

 

I never saw one single bird take one single strand of yarn out of the thing.

 

Although one day I saw a squirrel hanging from the basket taking a few

brightly colored pieces of yarn for his (her) nest.

 

 

 

The other day I went out to check on it and this is what I found.

 

No wire heart thing.

 

Only little pieces of yarn scattered here and there.

 

 

I've looked all over the place for the little wire hanger.

 

I don't think the squirrels were strong enough to take it.

 

Could it have been a raccoon? 

 

 

It's a mystery.
