, we will be embarking on these rock covered birdhouses next summer. I do think that these were posted a couple of years ago, but cannot remember. These are really decorative, but I am sure that if they were made from shorter plastic pipe, that they might entice fowl of some sort. And if not, they do make wonderful gifts for the birdhouse collector or garden decorator. The only problem is that they are a little messy and the adhesive is a little "smelly" so they should be done in a well ventilated area such as a mountain retreat in the summer, with plenty of iced tea and good company. We will need to collect rocks, funnels, copper wire, heavy duty wire and some steel wool. (oops!, that is just for Barb) She is not a "birder" and doesn't want the messy fowl in her birdhouses so she puts steel wool in the holes.
This is not the best picture of the lighthouse, but I did want to post the finished project. Hopefully there will be enough sunlight on my porch this winter to keep the little solar light aglow during the holidays.
The Mr. and I have been working on the front yard. We planted a purple plum and he has 3 of 4 rug junipers on our slope out front. There is such a hill on our front yard that we are struggling to determine how to plant. I terraced a small area this week and thanks to a good friend, was able to get some "snow on the mountain" to put in as ground cover. I also got 8 jars of jelly from her chokecherries. Yeah!!!
