Birdhouses in Upper Gardens near house
My goal to keep our land as natural as possible usually comes about. Once in a while I will throw in a surprise here and there to draw attention to something or just lighten up an area or put a smile on your soul. Here in the above picture I could not resist these bright colored houses to do all three, giving you the feeling of wow, look at that! ^_^
A ceramic house is more for looks because it is too warm inside when the sun shines. Birds won't build in them most times. This ceramic birdhouse below, I did at a class that I took.
A recent purchase sits on a bench in the Fairy Garden. The next two birdhouses are on the posts that fence in my vegetable garden.
This one sits in the corn crib with the peacocks just as a decoration. The long red white and blue looks like our USA flag.
Some are old, some are made by grand kids, some I just found in rummage sales or craft shops.

| This round one was made by my father's old friend who was a carpenter. |

| Here one sits on the old outhouse with an antique metal bench below it. The pan of tomatoes is from my vegetable garden. Above the metal bench is an orange metal sign with Dream cut into it by Dick and his plasma cutter. The outhouse I use to store my garden tools, and other things I use in the gardens like metal plant supports.

   My favorite is a wooden cat birdhouse that sits in my fairy garden. Yesterday I strolled around the many gardens and took pictures. I never noticed what was in the cats opening in its belly until I came back to take more pictures of the flowers. Look real close you can see its eyes peaking out.
