Squirrel Situation

I’ve been having consistent problems with squirrels and my plants. Earlier this year when my blueberry bush was growing blueberries, they vandalize the Bush. They snagged branches, and stole almost all the berries. Currently they’ve been digging in the bedding, and pulling leaves off my raspberry bush. Just recently, I planted succulents in the cactus, they destroyed the succulents and the cactus is missing!

I just don’t know what to do with them, my neighbors keep feeding them so they always stay close. My patio is right next to the tree they live in. My poor plants are being vandalize by these scoundrel squirrels.

I guess I need to get a netting for them, or we have to enclose the whole patio. I don’t know what to do.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
