Bird Stories

This is the bird stand my mother got my father for Christmas and it has been very successfully firstly because he actually liked it and secondly it gets loads of birds coming to it and no squirrels. I was trying to take a photo of the birds eating from it because there was ten of them on it at the time, i scared a few away by coming to the window.

But then this huge fat pigeon scared them all away. Just not on.

Lucas likes to watch the birds, he is in charge of making sure its just birds and not squirrels starts to shake if there is a squirrel.

With this frost the water freezes up so quickly i put new water out every morning and it is frozen within an hour so i started to put warm water out to give the brid's a better chance of getting some water.

Something else that has frozen is the pond, which Lucas demonstrates in this photo. He found that out himself i didn't put him on there. He has mastered his fear now because he fell in the pond as a puppy and has always been very cautious of it.

I love the green which has frosted edges.

I think the bamboo looks stunning.

Hello Handsome

I have invested in a mini greenhouse, its for my seedlings also its until i win a greenhouse. Its from Home Base 29.99 and i think its really good. It was very easy to put up until you have to put the cover on and you have to make sure you have really banged the poles in otherwise they won't fit on i had several melt downs trying to pull it over. I have started off my garlic just a few, and i read in "grow your own" magazine that you can set them off in pots first, i did this because i couldn't even get my fork in the ground it was so frozen.
