Last Spring I put together this DIY Bird Station in my perrenial garden…
I took an old chair that I found at a thrift store that was missing it’s seat and attached an in-expensive pagoda shaped bird feeder to the chair with jute twine. The top of the bird feeder has a little twist on and off action which prevents squirrels from getting it open. (more…)

I took an old chair and placed it my front garden to create a bird station. The chair is visible from my desk and gives me hours of pleasure watching the birds. My cats both love it too, as they sit in the windows watching the birds come an go. Yesterday, Pandora spent most of the day at one end or the other of my desk watching birds and chipmunks at the feeder:
To create the bird station I tied a small bird house on the back of the chair with jute, and then laid large strips of bark from an old stump on the seat area of the chair (the caning was gone) and tied a pagoda shaped birdhouse onto the seat. I also added some bare branches for perches for the birds. On the large rocks in my garden I placed large shallow oval aluminum container that I weighted down with small rocks from the garden and filled it with water – it makes a fabulous bird bath!
I use songbird blend bird feed. The birds love it…

Today I am reminded that life is a journey. Sometimes the road may seem harder to travel, as it weaves and winds through unknown terrain. When the road becomes more difficult I have choices. I can wallow in the pot holes, or I can choose to steer around them. Challenges are opportunities for growth which I welcome today and every day. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey
