If I Build It, Will They Come?

I've been longingly looking at your bird photos, swooning over their beauty. It made me want to shoot some photos of birds in my own yard. But guess what? There is a severe lack of birds in the neighborhood! As in, none!

I made a comment on a blog post of Betsy's that I have not seen many birds this winter....Cardinals usually visit, but I have not seen the first one. And then I had a bird epiphany and said, "I think I should put some food out for them. That'll probably do the trick". And she agreed by saying, "lol...yes, food would help"!

Ha!

So, I went about buying and making some birdfeeders. I'm building a place for birds to visit, have a little dinner and maybe move in for a while. I still need to get a birdbath, but I have an idea to make one. We'll see how it turns out. I'll share it, if I decide to use it.

New birdfeeder and little acorn shaped birdhouse.

 

The birdfeeder has been filled with yummy bird goodness.

The acorn birdhouse, awaiting it's guests.

 

And the birdfeeder echoes the sentiments of 'come and get it'.

(See the open window.....it was in the 80's today)

 

Maybe what they long for is a little color,

 

Or....this delicious birdseed concoction to calm their hunger.

 

 

And for you....some pre-spring color in this yellow forsythia.

 

Happy Wednesday Y'all,
