Weekend Projects....

 I had this old found martin house and 

4 of these plastic gourd birdhouses were

hanging from it.  Well, over this past winter

the old decrepit martin house basically fell apart.

Not at all salvageable, but these were

with a little elbow grease.

 So we cut them free and took them apart.

They were filled with old bird nests and bee/wasp nests.

and LOTS of dirt and moss.

I thought about painting them each a bright color.

But first I googled and found that nature colors 

are best when using for shelter for birds.  And 

after seeing them all cleaned up and put back together

I have to agree.  I like the weathered clean patina better!

 So I found the perfect spot for each....

 to be seen.....

 thru-out our yard....

 and even from my neighbor's kitchen window.

I like to share!

 This is the only picture I could find that shows where they

use to hang in our yard.  Now the shed is being built there.

My husband has been wanting to have a place to plant 

his herbs in our yard.  Last year we had trouble with 

slugs taking their share of bites and basically killing our plants.

So Brad decided they must go up....

so he "found" an old telephone pole and

cut it to the lengths needed and put them in the ground.

 He purchased a couple of faux barrel planters

(real ones are really expensive)

and Wa La....

Herb Garden!

To the left of these planters

is where the shed is being built.

Those are just a few of the projects we did 

this weekend.  We had some really hot temps in the

90's and it made it difficult to do too much outside.

Today is to be about 20 degrees cooler

and a whole lot less humid....

I like that!

Have a delightful day!
