Birdie Houses

 Hi Everyone......how is your day going, hope you are keeping cool in this very warm weather. Now remember, if you live in a state that has cold harsh winters, think back to these warm, warm days. At least in winter you can bundle up to keep warm.

 So in these three pictures are our bird houses and bird bath. This has been quite the busy place for active birdies, squirrels and chipmunks. Together they seem to feed on the same stuff. When the squirrels and chipmunks show up....we send Kylie out to chase them away, but they seem to come back when she comes in the house. I have seen cardinals, wrens and finches. Lots of sparrows though.......but that is okay, it is fun just to see the birds enjoy my backyard.

Another view of the houses. The green and white house came from Steins ($16.98) and the red barn came from Menards ($12.98). The same green and white house can be bought at Walmart ($9.97). There is still some things I want to do with the "birdie garden" but it has just been tooooo hot to spend alot of time outside. Maybe when things cool down a bit. This is much too warm for me.

Well time to close here for a bit. You all take care and keep looking up for your redemption draws nigh. Cheers ~ Louise

A Laugh and A Fountain



Laugh for the day...........

So how you all doing today........a new week with many new surprises to come.

The weather is supposed to be nice this week. Think I will work in the yard and try to get my fountain assembled. This is what it looks like now.

The liner is going up next to the garage. The flagstone will be piled around the liner.....some how. We were looking at pumps on Saturday, Steins has one for $50 and Menards $36. I have Home Depot and Fleet Farm yet to check out. Oh the hunt of finding what you want......makes for a fun-filled day!!
Guess I better get these rocks up pretty soon....there won't be any grass growing by the time I am done. Course JP won't mind, that will be less grass to cut.

There is so much to do, enough to keep me busy for the summer...but then isn't that what summers are about....keeping busy outside and moving, moving, moving.
Hope to lose some poundage this summer, like 10 lbs would be good, maybe that will lower the blood sugars a bit. We'll see.
Well, I am cutting this blog short today, have to get some things done around the house and start working on my fountain today. Have a great day and keep looking up for your redemption draweth nigh.
Cheers ~ Louise
