Birdhouse

Hello friends

As you know I purchased a new bird feeder last week.  I liked it so much I decided to go for the matching bird house, more like a miniature dovecote where birds can shelter and nest if they wish.  It has two floors and is very attractive.  Thought that you might like to see it

It has openings all around it so there would be no fighting to get in.  It would be wonderful if a little family was raised in there next year.  Here is a snap of the birdhouse and feeder together.  They are not as close as they look in the picture

We think they look elegant and add something a little different to the garden.

Him indoors took a couple of autumn type shots, the first one is of berries on the Rowan tree we have in the back and the other is apples on our miniature tree

This was taken looking upwards. The berries are all in a ring at the top, like a crown.

I am very pleased with the Hibiscus.  I bought it at the beginning of summer.  It was just a bare-rooted stick. An outdoor variety that will tolerate the British climate.  The instructions said that it would do very little this year but should at least have some leaves on it.  Well, they obviously did not tell the plant that.  I put it in a very large pot, gave it good compost, plenty of water and it has around a dozen flowers on it.

Nathan had his first visit to nursery school this morning. Becky had to stay with him, of course, and he kept checking to see if she was still there.  He played with the sand and then made friends with a little girl and went into the garden there.  At first it will be just the once a week but when he gets used to it, he will go twice and Becky will leave him.  They grow so fast but I am glad that he enjoyed it and it does give Becky some special time with Daniel.

Hope alerts are working again now. I have been away from journalling and commenting for a couple of days because I have been working on a project which you will get to see in the near future.  Take care everyone.
