We had a beautiful concrete birdbath in our front yard, and I loved watching the birds there. I kept the bird feeder filled, too. But my neighbors' cats kept stalking the birds at the feeder, and one of them jumped up on the birdbath and actually tipped the top part off and broke it.
(sigh...) I miss seeing the birds, but I haven't found an affordable replacement yet.
One day I want a pond. I have the perfect spot!
But it's not in the budget yet. In the meantime, I'm loving looking at the photos people have posted!!!
