Oh Becky ... That is gorgeous, you are so talented! I wish I could do something like that. I'd love to have a tree mural and little birdhouses hanging from the branches, and a few little birds perched along a branch or two. The Weeping Willow has always been one of my favorite trees and I used to talk about finding someone to paint a mural for me on the side of my shed that's enclosed to a wood deck in the pool area. I ended up hanging a mirror and shelves with birdhouses and other gardening decor on that side of the shed to decorate it. All of my birdhouses and garden statues/decor are all packed up now as I'm in the process of finding my final home too. It's a sad story but my faith has me excited about the future.
Sally: Love it! That is a wonderful birdhouse and photo of the Carolina Wren feeding it's young! I have two identical Purple Martin Condo houses and the Carolina Wrens nest in them every year. It's always so much fun watching the babies fledge the nest. Here are a couple of Carolina Wren babies from this past spring. They left the birdhouse and nest but still couldn't get much air under their wings yet. One landed on the fence and would climb and hop up the chain link to a plant, and the other landed in an Orange tree. The parents kept busy back and forth feeding them. I buy dehydrated mealworms for the feeders in spring and the Wrens loved them.
