In hopes of bringing a little bit of nature into our little part of the city and giving Jadyn and Eden a little education, the girls and I bought a bird feeder last week and, finally, the rain has ceased (at least for today) and we’ve been able to see a bird or two.
The feeder is definitely the nicest bird feeder I’ve ever seen. When we asked at our local hardware store (Belle Hardware) if they sold any, they only had one – for $62!! I told them that I want to feed the birds but not for $62. Out of generosity and a deep desire to open up some shelf space, they happily sold me the bird feeder at their cost – $22! Still more then I’d typically pay for a feeder but, as you can see in the pic, it’s beautiful.
So far we have seen a few cardinals and a few sparrows. Hoping to see an oriole.
We hung the feeder in a tree off our back roof right next to “the farm,” my six potted plants (basil, oregano, cilantro, asain mix lettuce and green mix lettuce).

Your farm looks great! I’m glad you’re getting some visitors to your feeder too. Hey! You should add a humming bird feeder to your zoo too!
