Birdhouses

For the birds

What to do when you are snowed in. Paint bird feeders and bird houses.

I couldn’t resist buying these unpainted houses at Michael’s on Wednesday, against everyones advise that I did not need them and would not ever get around to painting them. ” But they are on sale”, I retorted.

Between cooking and baking and drying out jackets and gloves I have painted my little houses in bright colors and raided the odd broken jewery bag for things to glue on them. Now I have an idea to attach a branch across a painting of outbuildings at Belmont and hang some of these houses in front of them. This is my lesson for anyone wanting to tap into that creative side we all have. Just do it and have fun. Take advantage of any opportunity that suspends the everyday hurry of the have- to’s and shoulds .
