A Garden Treasure

in #garden5 years ago (edited)

This may look like a simple bird house made by a child and it was. The memory of the story that went with this garden treasure is ours and it still makes us smile. It now lays at the top of the lily garden.

It is possible for us to have bears in our backyard and through my granddaughter's baby years I'm sure she has overheard us talk of it. She worked on this birdhouse project with her grandfather and he let her be in total control of the decorating and she wanted to add a "for rent" sign to it that clearly stated "for birds not bears", and so we did. She made this at about age 4 and I found it funny and revealing about what she had given thought to.

That was years ago and the weathered memory still hangs bringing us to that place of happiness each time we walk by and notice. It's that simple somethimes.

Love the bird house and the story.

Also love your photos with the happy bright orange lillies. That next to last shot from the ground up through them is so beautiful and fun..

Great idea on shooting up towards the sky on those day lillies. Cute birdhouse design.

Thank you. I got the idea of shooting towards the sky from @dswigle who does amazing photography, especially with flowers.

Such lovely memory of this special bird house! This has prevented the bears from coming to the garden!
Such lovely orange lilies! A very energizing garden!

Thank you. We have seen only one bear since she made this so it must be working. ;-)

Priceless! Things like that are indelible inks that even if gone will always remain in our memory and that is beautiful. So much love in that garden.

We spend a lot of time out there especially now that it is in full bloom. Thank you for checking out my post.

Yes I always think of life as being about building/making memories. It is so sweet and thanks for sharing the back story!

I'm glad you liked it.
