SPRING FORWARD

 

 I have been under the weather the last 2 weeks coughing my head off. To make matters worse, the weather I have been under is depressing, not horrific like most of the country is suffering, but cold and rainy.  Yes, I realize the rest of the country would gladly trade weather with the Northwest, but still I am pining for spring.

I thought I would cheer myself up by posting pictures of some thrift store teapots that I turned into bird houses with a little glue and a drill. I actually made these at the end of last summer, long past the nesting season. So I will have to wait until spring to see if they are to the birds liking.

They are adorable hung on a garden fence,  a post or a tree.  They are actually practical, because the angled lid protects the inside from rain (unless it is blowing sideways), and if moisture does get in, it will drain out through the spout.

The thought of brightly colored teapots and chirping birds puts a smile on my bleak mid-winter soul.
