Thanks everyone. I don't know about school: I feel that I'm the 'student'. I worked all summer to save a good crop of holly berries for Christmas. But as they began to ripen and turn red the birds and my 'free ranging' chickens made short work of them. So I got stuck with what was left for a banner!
Here are two of the 'bandits'. I hate to pen them up: Looks like I will have to install some netting next year if I want Christmas Holly!
