Nearing the end of our Syracuse Arts and Crafts Festival stroll, my dear wife Karen and I were excited to come upon the artisan who sold us the piece we purchased for our backyard bird bath.
This year we brought home a concrete piece imprinted with sunflowers. How lovely for our backyard. Again.

Those prices look pretty fair to me – down here they’d probably charge twice as much. The sunflower design is cool. Excellent choice.

The artist really does set the prices low, Bruce. Thanks for giving me the chance to get her website link here. I should have included it with the original post but better late than never. https://www.leavesbyjenney.com/?fbclid=IwAR0kXT6uDvwlRoXHOz2gNk21cNlAAthKys9qWs0uTVbwodrwxCAUoLa6YWM

This is wonderful. I am just becoming aware of how wonderful it can be to watch birds. 🙂 We live next to an unkempt field. The birds GREATLY enjoy it so we don’t put anything out. Yet.

The birds LOVE our backyard, MBC, and we are so typical suburbia, just two miles or so from the Syracuse city line. Hey, maybe the moved over from the city! In the spring we get a male and female cardinal, the red and lighter birds hanging together and darting around. So lovely!! I wonder if it is the same two coming back every year.

Oh I wonder the same kind of things. I am sure the birds love the paradises you create for them. When we lived in town there was a creek behind us (right in town!). But here we are more nature than town. We have seen many cardinals, bluebirds, bluejays, but I really love the humming birds!
