SkyWatch Friday




It feels so much like spring today! It's currently about 70 degrees (about 21 Celsius). I was just walking around the yard taking in all the spring sounds and the warm sunshine!
I rescued this little bird house last week and hung it on the tree. This morning I noticed a cute little bird couple checking it out, wonder if they have moved in?

    You know Di, every spring in Georgia I'd buy new hanging ferns for my front porch. And every year, a little bird family would move in and lay eggs, in the exact same spot,lol...so I'd always have one beautiful fern and one dying fern because I couldn't water it! But I have to admit, I enjoy seeing them around :)

    LOL Stacy! TGIF :D

    I have a bird house just like that one hanging on an oak tree in my backyard Tanya! I've always had a seed feeder and this year I've added a mealworm feeder and the birds are going crazy over it. I can't keep it full. They actually watch me fill it up and as soon as I go back in the house they gobble up the mealworms. My grandson loves it! I'm hoping for some baby birds in the birdhouse soon.

    One winter we waited too long to take down our holiday wreath and a nest appeared in the curve of the wreath beside our front door. We actually stopped using the front door until the nestlings fledged.

    Would you mind sending me some of your heat and optimism. Woke up this morning to snow. Weird for my neck of the woods.

    I've never had any residents move into a bird house I've put up. How fun for you.

    It sounds lovely and warm there. I love gardening with the sun on my back.

    Hope your bird couple decides to move in then you can post some cute baby bird photos. You'll have the perfect vantage point.

    Wow, fortunately you have averted a bird-couple housing crisis in your yard - may the rest of the country fare as well! :)

    Well, the party's over. It appears we're getting snow tonight.

    I love your fern story. Imagine driving past someone's house and seeing this dead fern all the time and wondering why she doesn't take that one down, what's going on? And you don't know this sweet, incredible story is happening, that someone cares more about some birds than making her porch look nice. Who would know? I feel a short story brewing...
