Anyway, this is my window in the kitchen. It looks out on my patio. When we first moved here, this was a really ugly view. There was a gross old hot tub out there that no one had used in about a million years. And things were living in and around it, terrible things! Thankfully we got rid of it a few years ago.
About the red dots on the storm door? We put frosted Contact paper on the glass as a temporary measure after a bunch of doves kept bouncing off it. While that worked for the doves, it was pretty ugly. Plus, we couldn't see out if the door was open. Now I can see out and it seems to be working for the doves, too. But do you know what? While they stopped being confused by the door, they got confused by the window! Rascal is so right–doves are pretty dim. So we added the mobiles to solve that.
You can see our gazing ball farm from here, too. This year Mom corralled them and put some of them in pots so she wouldn't have to bring them inside when the wind kicks up every three minutes. So far so good! And we have some fun birdhouses (vacant) and flowers hanging near the back wall, and all our feeders are off to the right. You can just see a thistle feeder in this picture, right next to the bird rest Mom put together from fallen tree limbs. So this is a pretty fun place for me to keep watch from.
What you can't see–and my mom is so excited about this (???)–we have one tiny pepper in our tiny garden so far!
(Like I said–???)
Nice picture of you! :)
ReplyDeleteWe need one of those thistle bird feeder to add to the one we got. More feeders = more birds = more times Buddah will smash his head into the window!
Woo hoo! Furry good pichur! Tails rule.
ReplyDeleteWow you have a furry nice patio to look at. Mum likes the fence that you have privacy and purrty flowers to enjoy. And your mum hangs all sorts of stuff up like mum. For fun and to keep the birdies safe.
ReplyDeleteWilliam you and yore mom haff a nice patio wit flowers and da gazing ball. Do you gaze in da ball William? I agree with you Rascal, doves are kinda dim. I thought it was just OUR doves, but I guess dey're all dim.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know what peppers are either. Are dey food? Beans get excited about the strangest fings.
Oops, I meant you AND Rascal.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Which kind of pepper? Red, Green, Jalapeno, Bell? Maybe it will be tasty like Romaine Lettace.
ReplyDeleteYour mom did a real nice job on your patio - it looks like a furry relaxin' kinda place.
ReplyDeleteDo ya think birds aren't furry smart 'cause their little heads are so small?
We like your patio!
ReplyDeleteMom planted stuff for us to watch, too. We have three pumpkin plants! Oh, and some 'nip ... An' about eleventy-squillion basil plants 'cuz Mom likes bruschetta.

ReplyDeleteWilliam, my mom says to tell your mom that she loves your patio! Personally, I think the tail only enhances the view. I especially like the gazing ball farm, we don't have one of those, but mom likes shiny things outside too.
ReplyDeleteOh guess what William? we are moving to Mew Mewxico. Not near Albuturkey mom said but in the south east in Lea County. But, we will be in the same STATE. wow. Mom says concatulations on the little pepper. She can't wait to haf a garden of something even if it is rocks. ~poiland tribe
