Friday Favorites

This is a "bird lobby" that I received as a Christmas gift. I have really enjoyed having it in my backyard. The best part is that I get to watch the birds come and go from my kitchen window which is directly over my sink. Needless to say I spend much time at the sink. There have been times that I've seen more than six birds perched on it at a time. FUN!





I lovingly call it a bird lobby because it is a deceiving little bird hotel. It really is only one room in there. My boys and dad think that's funny. It came from my dad.





I have to give my mother-in-law credit for this fascination. When we would visit her house she would like to talk about the birds in her yard. She really liked to watch for hummingbirds and even have hummingbird feeders. At first I didn't see the beauty of it all, now I do. Getting older really makes you appreciate the simple things in life. Thank you mother-in-law.

  2. i thought for sure the first comment was going to be from "cynthia". Oh well...guess i was wrong. i remember when we were first married and we bought our first house. i was so excited when i would look out the window and see all kinds of birds. all i saw at our apartment complex was a parking lot. it was a nice change and one of the many perks of our first house.
