RESERVED FOR HOUSE WRENS

 Well, now the clock is ticking toward

spring and it won't be long.  We have

4 true seasons in Missouri which is

something I love.

I hung some of my favorite birdhouses

out this week and I see a pair of sparrows

out the front bedroom window, right now looking in the opening. 

 I forgot to put the "this house reserved

 for house wrens" sign up.

Then there is this sweet bird that has come

on our deck for several years.  He or

she must of been hit by a car?  Not sure

but one foot is gone so he hops on

one foot slowly.  

So Monday I took the black plastic bags

 off my garden statuary and put the tops

back on my birdbaths.  I put water in

them for the birds.  I am excited to

see bulbs coming up everywhere. I am 

so glad I planted bulbs again.  It's one 

of those jobs you really don't want to

do at the time you need to do it.  Really,

it is just like lots of things in life.  It 

would be easy to say - that's too much

work so I'll skip it but when spring comes

you are so glad that you did it.   It

was 70 degrees today so hurrah for that.

I have 2 bluebird houses up and have

had many Eastern bluebirds come and 

visit our yard in the last 2 weeks but they

 don't seem interested in our birdhouses.

And now it is Tuesday and I went

and bought a flat of pansies and

some primroses.  I see a few survived

the winter too and are popping up.

I worked on my little birdbath floral

decoration too today and it is 76 degrees.

It will be lovely tomorrow and then

cooler again so I am enjoying!
