Ideas For Your Backyard

As a young child, I was fascinated with birds.  They were small, many were really pretty, they sang beautifully, but most of all they could fly!!  How?  I couldn’t understand how they were able to stay up in the air.  (I guess for that matter, it will always be a mystery to me). 

I was given a gift of an Audobon membership.  Each month I received a book relating to birds and a workbook that I could paste stamps that came with the book in the appropriate place.  I learned so much.  Another way to learn is to add a blue bird house or a birdfeeder to your garden decor.  Your children and grandchilden will absolutely love it!

Wow what do you think of this?  I’m not much for cold weather, and I do love watching the birds.  I love things that are different and I think this unique birdfeeder might offer a near perfect experience while I sit in the comfort of my home.

Birds love water year round.  In the winter they drink and bathe, mostly drink, but the layer of down feathers next to their skin keeps them dry and warm. In the summer they like to cool down just as you and I would.

Let your gardening experience be fun.  Include your children and grandchildren while creating an charming back yard.  By adding statues and/or figurines that are whimsical you will be creating a delightful experience for young and old alike.

Generally speaking fountains are usually pretty to install.  There are a number of good water fountains on the market.  Shop around or drive around to find an out of the way gardening center that may have different fountains than what you would find in your local stores.  The water fountains that you buy usually come with a water pump and there may be limited assembly.  You will just have to place it near an electic outlet to  run electricity to the pump. 

And if you are handy enough you could build your own.  You would be amazed at what you would find laying around that would we suitable to put a fountain together.  Add some water tubing and a pump and voila you have a custom made backyard water fountain.

If you don’t have enough room in your yard for a fountain or pond you can attract flocks of visitors to your garden with a sparkling bird bath.  It will be an oasis for the feathered traveler. A sweet addition to a shady corner or sunny knoll, this enchanting floral birdbath brings to mind the genteel gardens and gentle sentiments of bygone Victorian days.
