What a neat feeder Lucy I love it. Yesterday we had to repair the wiring in a lady's care where a squirrel had chewed threw it so we clean out the nest repair the wiring change the headlight bulb and call her to pick it up. She says can I see what you did and we open the hood and out flies this bit fat red squirrel, lol. She was still in there hiding through all that work and we didn't know. You should have heard all the men squeal. I laughed so hard then the dogs ran the poor thing up a tree. I told the lady she had to go get her squirrel and take it with her or there would be an extra charge, lol. I don't need her eating wiring in all those cars at the shop. Eloise don't be surprised if that pumpkin doesn't sprout all over, lol. I threw out a bag of squash that I had grown in the garden that had been frozen but thawed out during a long power outage in my compost pile back when we lived in the country and had squash alllll over the yard, lol.

I do remember hearing the expression as being like "every one and his mother". I did not know the origin though, so thank you.
