I love the bird houses - especially the one made of license plates. This must be the year of the birdhouse, as I got one from a friend for Christmas - it's felted and I'll be damned if I'll let the birds poop in it. Glad you had a quiet holiday.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-10770035962362355582018-12-26T14:05:56.542-06:002018-12-26T14:05:56.542-06:00I definitely can see that you raked the yard.

You're reminded me that I once thought a bird house or two might be a nice substitute for the bird feeders I can't have because of the marauding pigeons. I might give that another thought.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-56246806213956959882018-12-25T21:18:19.136-06:002018-12-25T21:18:19.136-06:00I've had wrens and sparrows nest in them and b...I've had wrens and sparrows nest in them and bluebirds once. the wrens nest everywhere though.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-33566424690506834522018-12-25T19:56:56.104-06:002018-12-25T19:56:56.104-06:00I love those birdhouses.
