For the Birds

Johnny wants to know if I think all the birds in this area are homeless.  No silly!  I still have the crafting bug and the priority right now is building birdhouses.  The weather is perfect, timing is perfect, and my yard is full of old scrap lumber such just begging to be made into something shabby quaint.  In  just a few weeks those little birds will be feathering their nests and what lady doesn't like a nice new home.

I love the weathered look of the old cedar boards which Johnny salvaged from an old fence.  The twigs attached for the birds to sit on are part of my garden thicket fence.  The hardest part was using a hand saw to do all the cutting.  I have got to get a saw that I can handle.   It is probably a good thing we live out in the woods.  City neighbors might have had something to say about my hammering until midnight last night.

While the birds are enjoying their new homes, I will be sitting and swinging in my new Christmas swing.  Johnny gave me a two-seater porch swing for the front porch.  We painted it "Roasted Pepper" red to match our front door.  It is the perfect place to sit in the afternoons and enjoy a big glass of sweet tea or just horse around with the grands.

Time for a little swinging and a second glass of after supper tea.
