Got to love it!
Only thing missing is your dancing shoes! LOL!
I know nothing about building, but boy, your workmanship looks to be of the highest standards!

Thanks, pard
Today is clean the stovepipe day.....fun....fun......fun
Then, back to building at least one avian abode
I gave the last one away to a couple that came over
They're building a place a couple miles north of us
Very nice folks
young
energetic
We'll see if they last the winter
Ever neighborhood needs at least wunna those
They're as essential as the neighborhood grocer
Whimsical birdhouses are my favourite, and this one doesn't disappoint!
As soon as dear husband retires, he wants to get into building birdhouses as one of his pastimes, whimsical ones like yours.

Happy birthday Gary, no sun here either, sorry I missed that big day. Hope you brought it in the right way.
Many more in the future.
Many more in the future.
If that means eating and sleeping it off, like the ol' dawg I am....then yes...yes I did
Thanks, LL
Worked a bit in the meadow today
Had visitors
The mulies are back from wintering a hundred miles southeast of here, in Christmas Valley
Looks like they're ready to ask what's been planted this year
Glad the garden is screened in
Gotta use more care now when on Hwy 97
At night, it can be a gauntlet

I'm late to the party - Happy birthday my friend!
Looks like you have more than enough deer to fly a sleigh.

Yeah, there was only a dozen or so in the meadow, but more will come....many more...by the hundreds
One spring evening I was tooling down Hwy 97 about twenty miles north of the cabin.
Deer were lined up all along the hwy, waiting for a chance to cross
....some didn't wait
Gets nasty
During daylight, blood and guts about every couple hundred yards.
I took to following semis
Their grills do better than my Jeep's

Oh, Gary 'ol pal, I'm sorry I missed your birthday. Here's a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It's red, because that's the color of my face......
No worries, Jube, I almost forgot it myself
But, my lady kept reminding me.....'you're old.....and gonna be even older in a few days'
So much for robbing the cradle

At least you'll never hurt for meat (speaking of hunting - not road kill).
I do like the dawns, but I'm more partial to the long shadows of twilight's reach thru the forest
Something about the creator's way of ending the day
Not a switch
But, the gentle fade
When hiking, camping, hunting, it got me moving to get camp set up
But now, now I can stroll
Not even the cabin in deep winter can come close to a thick undisturbed forest near evening
At least not for me....

A nice neighborhood Gary, up
upBeautiful, Gary, but golly, gosh, gee... couldn't you have built a little farther away from your neighbours?Took a break after chores today
Strolled the meadow
Funny, a cursory look begets little
But stop.....look down......tiny beings.....thriving in spring
They are tiny.....but tough....gotta be
Tomorrow.....I tidy up around the shop
You're prolly being facetious, but how far away should one build and be comfortable?
My lady prefers somewhere 100 mi north of Fairbanks
I'm a bit more into civilization
Thanks kid
Yeah.....it's good to be home
I'll tell ya, I thought things out here got a bit redundant
I didn't know what redundant was until we moved to town
So much goin' on out here I can't keep up

I was wondering how long it would take you to move back home. You suite town life as well as I do which is not at all.
It's jus' too crowded, ain't it
I'd get up of a morn
Go outside
Look up
Nothing
Too many street lights
Tiny yard
Town birds.....nothing out of the ordinary
The only wild life was stray cats
…..and the air...and the water..whoa
Got a bit claustrophobic
Mindlessly channel surfing at night (what a buncha crap on the tube)
Eating, because.....well, jus' because
If there's any good thing with this cruddy virus, it put us over the edge to get back here
