Here's a funny story for you.
For more than a year, we tried to attract birds to our backyard.
Wrought iron bird bath and two feeders filled with lots of seed were all placed on the grass.
No birds came.
Finally, this past spring, word must have finally gotten out.
The birdies started to arrive and hubs and I have been totally delighted.
This past weekend, we hosted a huge shower for a sweet little baby-in-waiting and balloons inside a big tent were part of the decorations.
When we woke up Sunday morning, after all the hoopla, we couldn't believe our eyes when we looked out the window.
During the night, a bouquet of balloons had somehow gotten loose from the pointed inside ceiling of the tent.
They landed on the top of one of the bird feeders so even our little feathered friends could get into the celebratory mood!
Here they are, reflected in the bird bath.
The bouncing bouquet of balloons is still there, too, and we couldn't be happier.
Wonder how long they will stay there.
Any bets?
DO YOU HAVE BIRDS IN YOUR YARD?
How fun the birds had balloons at their feasting place too. I keep 3 bird feeders filled plus a hummingbird feeder and a bird bath.
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible birdbath photo. You always have so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: I do. I have birds in my garden. In spring the birds wake me with their sound. Nice pic about birdbath. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the birds are finally coming around. I still enjoy watching the birds outside our back door. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching hummingbirds and other birds outside and hear them singing especially early in the morning but don't feed them as we have a problem with rats around here. I think it is so funny that the balloons landed on the bird bath.
ReplyDeleteWere you to have had the wind we had the other night, those balloons would be long gone! Perhaps it is coming your direction. Really good birdbath picture!
