Enjoying These Lovely Sunny Days

 

Yup I have been enjoying these wonderful sunny days in the gardens, doing yard work  going for walks with my Miggs and just sitting back relaxing and taking it all in . I have been enjoying taking lots of photos of flowers , birds , bees and critters as there is a lot of activity going on in the yard  these days .

Papa built this bird house  that he hung off of his wood working shop a while back  all the other bird houses like this only in  different colours  are being occupied by Sparrows all though these are meant for Wrens but the sparrows just peck at the entrance to make  them just that much bigger for them to squeeze in and out of  but this house wasn't touched by the Sparrows  and Mrs Wren seems to think it is quite the perfect place for her , so she is moving in .

Seems to be quite the task for her to figure out how to get a big stick into that tiny hole . I felt like I should of taken it and put it in for her lol !

After some time of struggling and figuring this stick out Molly as we have named her got it in and of she went to collect more . She sits on Papas work shop roof and any perching areas she can around her new home and sings and trills so pretty !

The sun has been shining and breezes have been cool  , very little rain to  but hoping for some today and tomorrow as we are to be getting thunderstorms we hope  that last batch of thunderstorms didn't happen even though there were lots of dark clouds traveling over us !

Alvin seems to enjoy this feeder with the safflower seed in it and also likes to go for a bit of a swing as he is feasting .

When the hummers decide to feed they don't mind sharing their feeders with the Oriel's at all and vise a versa .

Lovely series of photos. No apologies necessary as I'm doing the same thing. I'm enjoying the garden as much as possible, neglecting my website, taking photos and reading.

Hello, your garden looks beautiful. I love the cute birdhouse and wren. The Orioles is a gorgeous bird, great photos. Enjoy the sunshine! Wishing you a happy day and weekend ahead!

I love the bird house!! And that little Wren moving in is so cute! Your flower garden is just beautiful !We usually have several little Wrens that build around the house and goat barn but not this year. Poppy thinks it's because we now have a cat, Smokey, that stays outside most of the time. Shoot! Guess we can't have it all. :)
