birdhouses~

Well another spring time job is done ... cleaning out the bird houses and putting them back up for another season.

 Patching roofs ... putting on new siding ...

shaking out last years nesting materials ...

making things pretty for this years tweeters ...

Now tell me ... if you were a bird wouldn't you want to live in a hollowed out gourd that has been painted like a cow?  AND get to live in an apple tree?  Talk about some prime real estate!

I have eleven bird houses around the yard ...

I didn't even notice that red squirrel on the tree in the back ground until I uploaded this pic ... shows how observant I am. ha!

... a little chickadee sitting up in the tree waiting for me to get out of the yard so it can fly off to it's nest ... which is here:

in the hollowed tree

Of course, everything I do outside must meet the approval of the over seer ~ Brandy

So how big are your woodpeckers?

and

do your trees have faces?

The snow is slowly going!!! Today is suppose to reach into the high 60's and rain is in the forecast for tonight.  Hopefully, tomorrow morning ... the snow will be gone.  If I get real ambitious today ... and can talk Dear Hubby into cutting some brush and cleaning up sticks in the yard ~ I just might have to make a big fire in the fire pit that sits out in the middle of the yard.  I can't wait to have a campfire night again.  I think I'll drag out the lawn chairs and benches and we'll have a kettle of chili for supper outside.

Until next time ...

So it goes in my neck of the woods.
