A Spring Day at Birdie's House!

It is so beautiful outside it was impossible for me to stay in and rest.  I did some weeding, cleaned the hot tub and did a few dozen small jobs that I can't even remember.  What I do remember is I was outside and the birds were and still are chirping as if it were their last day to make such an awesome sound. Many of you are still talking about unending cold and snow so I took pictures to share my Spring. 

This is Brianna. 

 Say hello to Treebeard.

This same little bird was at Linda's house a few days ago. It flew 4, 462 km.  It did! It is has gone back again so please expect a visit, Linda. 

Our shed.  It is so big and a great shed!

The little black winged-creature is a Mason bee.  I am breeding them in my backyard. 


Chives.  They are from last year and growing again and smell heavenly!


My boy moving rocks. 


Remember last year's rain chain that I made? It is still together!


Daffodils and mini Carnations. 

My boots.  I actually bought a new pair last week because these ones have holes.

My outside chair.  It is so comfy! See the tears on the seat?  The Ungrateful Bastard did that.  On purpose and for hate's sake. 

My daughter made this wee bird house when she was about 5 years old.  I love it. 

Mason bee houses.

Stuff.

Tea light candle holder with spider's web! 

Millipede cloud running across the sky. 



One would think with this many bells he would not have even the slightest chance to kill a bird.  The Ungrateful Bastard still manages to do it. Isn't he a nice stripey cat, though? 

Hope you enjoyed a little Spring being sent your way!

  4. Oh wow. You were busy. I love your trees and your decorations. And we have an Ungrateful Bastard in this house too. Ours is also good looking - they need to be.
    On the other side of the world I am weeding up a storm. I need to.

  5. It looks wonderful and I'm glad you had chance to enjoy some sunshine in the outdoors. I'm jealous of your chives. My herb garden has been devastated by this winter.

  6. I envy your sunshine! Great set of photos. I'd love a shed like that, I'd never be out of it! :D

    Happy Easter to you!

  8. Aren't you fortunate to have so much green already! I've got a lot of dirt in my front yard. And a few crocus. Mucho gardening ahead. I like your shit. I need some interesting shit in my yard too.

  10. I need to take a few pictures of my place too.
    I love gardening but because My fake knees and bad back won't allow me to do it anymore. My husband David does all the planting and gardening now.
    He just planted morning glorys along the trellis. The roses are blooming like crazy.
    Spring is here in Texas with a few nights now and then that are cold but not cold enough for us to turn on the heater in the house. I love spring.

  13. No Birdie, I did NOT like this post; at all.
    Showing off, that’s what you are. You trees, your flowers, your insects and their houses, your cats out in the sun, none of it pleases me.

    I want some of it for myself!

    Happy spring, take care and look after yourself. Don’t start racing before you can walk.

  18. oh how I miss checking your blog, reading your words and looking at the pictures... I love the one with the star and the other with the beaded man on the tree...
    Thank you for checking on me... it is going to be a very busy few months as I organize myself to make the big move to Tanzania. Wish me luck!

  19. Holy cow your shed is so neat and clean! I'm just congratulating myself that I cleared a small path through the thing.

    Hoppy Easter!

  20. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spring day and your cool yard! We had a lot of rain yesterday, but the sun was out and shining brightly today, and it was gorgeous! I've been working my ass off all week playing for Holy Week church services, and I'm dog tired tonight. The music director had the minister and the rest of us hard working musicians over for a fabulous dinner party tonight. He has got to be a saint, because he worked harder than the rest of us combined... well, maybe except for the minister... and still put on a fabulous spread.

    I think the UGB is a beautiful cat - I love grey tabbies with white feet and bibs. Ultimately, all cats are UGBs in one form or another. It's in their nature, and us humans just have to accept that fact. I couldn't live without mine, though... ungrateful or not. Who is Sheldon??? I've never heard you speak of him...

    I love your "millipede" picture. I've never thought of con trails in that way. We see a lot of them because we're close to one air base, and midway between two others. They look especially beautiful in the sunset.

    I have chives poking up everywhere, along with the omnipresent mint. Now that all of the Easter music madness and Passover are over, I can finally get out in the yard and get the garden going.

  21. Oh, it's spring where you are!

    Winter is giving us one last shot, just because it can. :-)

    Your Ungrateful Bastard looks quite a bit like my Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys). Ask him if he knows her...

  22. Isn't it amazing how a day outside with warmth on your back can change everything? I wandered around my garden this weekend - the weather was lovely - alas, we are no nearer anything growing yet - but I could feel the potential!

  23. Thanks for the lovely bit of spring. Its still cold and windy here and not nearly as scenic as your yard. Loved the tour, and yes your kitties are adorable!

  24. beautiful... wow, spring has really sprung where you live!

  25. I have one of those tree faces, only it is a Santa face! Creeps my kids out! Haha!

    It's so hard to look at Springtime pics. Only because I'm consumed with envy. Lol!! I love that tree!!

  26. Great photos! Our weather is improving, glorious weekend and this week is starting off quite nice too!
    Oh, my hubby would like that shed! We have a small one, it's a cluttered mess.
