Popcicle sticks for squirrels

[kuhio98]

Has this ever happened to you?

You find a scrap of paper with a notation. It was obviously written by you – because you recognize the handwriting.

But, you have absolutely no idea why you wrote it down and what it means?

Last month I found a note in a jacket pocket that reads “popcicle sticks (for squirrels)”
I figured out – because I remember the approximate time last Fall when I last wore the jacket – that I was at our cabin in the mountains when I wrote it. So, I figured it had something to do with the cabin – where we have many bird and squirrel feeders set up.

Bobcat and I finally figured out what our cryptic note meant. Can you?

I’m enclosing 2 photos of “Little Beggar” at the feeding station. One was taken in Summer and the other in Fall. (The season the photo was taken has nothing to do with the reason for the popcicle sticks. But the feeding station does).

Any guesses?

To attach ears of dried corn???

Squirrely definitely needs a place to sit at the table. So I will guess to make a little chair for her?

Or perhaps to make little stairs - the better to get to dinner?

Nope, no idea!

The PCS' are for the walls of the feeding station.

I would like some privacy while I ate my nuts?

I thought the sticks could be used to sit on, but can't be strong enough
for that can they?
