Bird Houses in the Snow


 A winter storm recently blanketed our area in God's glitter.  As excited as any child, I zipped outside with my camera first thing in the morning!




This lovely rustic birdhouse was a gift from my aunt.  It's hanging from an intricate butterfly, hidden by the snow.


A sweet friend painted this one for me.  It was such a nice surprise when we met for lunch one day.  I love the colors she chose.


A gourd from my garden makes up the last photo.  We struggled to remove all the seeds from the small doorway.  Interestingly, sparrows have pulled bits from the gourd, and it is now empty.

These were recently hung in Autumn, so haven't been inhabited yet.  We have high hopes for Spring!

What's happening in your back yard?
