Do you enjoy the springtime months?
We remember the day we stopped by this small town (above) and how lovely the porches were in springtime.
Just like from a story book.
Spring decorating with bird houses in mind!
Speaking of spring, we've been seeing bluebirds nesting in our bluebird house.
Very satisfying indeed.
The bluebirds fly from the holly bushes in our backyard over to the smoke bush, then rest on our neighbor's fence and back to their birdhouse to feed their young.
As they sang in the Sound of Music, "A robin feathering his nest has very little time to rest."
We love birds and our property is adorned with numerous bird houses that Dave created in his wood shop.
So it's natural for us to choose a bird house them for our front porch.
See our porch with a bird house theme.
