New Home
The newest addition to my birdhouse menagerie is this white number swinging up back. Unlike others sprinkled around the garden, this one's simply a gray-white. It's hanging from one of our outbuildings that houses the rototiller, a push mower and other assorted, seasonal junk. I usually add one of two 'new homes' each spring to take the place of those that have seen better days or have simply fallen apart due to the elements. You see some of my houses are permanently attached to trees. They never come down. I have one that is about 20 feet up a tree and has survived about 15 years. How you say? Well, I bent an old license plate (tag) over the top, and this does a super job sheltering it from the elements. Don't ask me why, but I nailed about 5 old wristwatches, without straps, to the front. It's a pretty unique look.
It's for the birds.
Time flies!
this is pretty but now i want to see a pic of the watch house!
ReplyDeleteComing soon to a blog near you. hahahaha
DeleteAny bird would be proud to have their very own White House!
ReplyDeletePretty in white. Is it for the squirrels too, haha?
ReplyDelete... and mice.
DeleteBoy, we have to "watch" you all the "time." Methinks you've been barking up the wrong tree, though.
ReplyDeletei use old license plates for roofs on my 'rustic cabins' for the birds, too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've got a lot of these hanging about!
ReplyDeleteDo you have trouble with squirrels getting into them?
ReplyDeleteDandy housing for the birds. Good idea to keep the little bug eaters around.
ReplyDeleteNow we have to see the 'watch' house.

Time flies....for sure!
ReplyDeleteI had to go look at the seal for your city just to check that bird out! Very nice!
Perfect for the bird with minimalist taste! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've felt that way about laptops sometimes, but never wristwatches. :-)
ReplyDeleteBird houses are fun. For the past several years I've been building birdhouses. They are easy woodworking projects. Give most of them away to family and friends. Your comment about watches and time flying was funny. Enjoy your feathered friends.
ReplyDeleteDali would approve!

I think you should show us a photo of the birdhouse with the wristwatches on it. I think that sounds pretty cool, Birdman!
ReplyDeleteI want to see that wristwatch birdhouse too!
ReplyDeleteI also want to see the wristwatch birdhouse!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice one, not too big, not too flashy.
ReplyDeleteLove this white birdhouse against the red building. New residence for some lucky boids. xx
ReplyDeleteA white house for birds!
