Bird House Becomes A Home


This bird house was painted by my 13 year-old daughter, and we've had it up for over 3 years.  This is the first that I've seen birds it this one.  It's hanging at the edge of our back patio, and the birds don't seem to mind me out there.  These birds are so tiny.





I believe these birds are House Wrens.  Their song is so beautiful to listen to.

Cool pictures of the little bird, especially the B&W!
Congrats on your blog award! It's fun to read randomness about our blogging buddies, the stuff we learn! LOL!!
P.S. I really love your blog too! :)
Wonder why it takes some birds so long to catch on?
You see a vacant bird house...you move in...pretty simple. Maybe they're leery of new things.

Anyway...it's cute. I like it.

Yes those are house wrens-they have the most beautiful songs in the am but watch out when you get too close to the nest they will scold you like crazy! No head diving like the swallows just very much chewing you out for being too close! I love them! They will only build a nest there if the hole is small enough for no other birds to get in! But they will come back every year!

Wow! I get home from camping to read this! Thanks for award.

We've had a bird house and nesting box up for quite a few years. The bird house has had tenants almost as soon as we put it up. The nesting box? No one has even looked at it! Maybe some day.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
