    I haven't posted lately, but I do check in daily.

    A Carolina wren moved into my apple gourd again this spring.

    The bluebird is back in the white gourd again.

    I love your gourd birdhouses and, obviously, so do your birds. I think they look really good and both birds should rear their young safely in them.

    Obviously spring arrived at your spot with a whoop and a holler! I love your birdhouse gourds--inspires me to grow them next year.
    Your daffs are lovely--we have a few, but none as pretty as yours.

    Did you paint the gourds? Those are adorable.
    I have collected gourds from thrift and antique stores over the years and really need to drill a hole, clean them out and paint them for birdhouses.
    I am hoping to grow some bushel gourds this year and use them for gifts next year.
