One of the Barred Rocks felt like being a supermodel yesterday.

There is no way hubby would let me use a toilet for a planter. He won't let me use the old cast iron pedestal sink for one.

Of course he doesn't want me to have naked necked birds either and I'm really considering sneaking a bearded showgirl or two into the pen

A cast iron pedastle sink makes the most awesome bird bath !
My Mom went to the junk store & bought bags & bags of bright colored ceramic dishes, busted them up with a hammer, hotglued them to an old sink (and a WOK) and then rubbed grout in the cracks, like a Mosaic...they are gorgeous !

Look at this one:

Or this one:

They need to mosaic over this one: you have to sand it rough to get the tiles to stick, and more than likely use grout to stick the tiles on, then regrout afterwards just like laying tile.
BUT I LOVE THE MIRROR ! Birds will no doubt sit on the faucet & stare at themselves in the mrror, sadly, mirrors are harmed by rainy weather...it disloves the silver off their backs & ruins them....

Beautiful !

I love laying tile....pebble tile would work, too...like I did in my downstairs bath...not real brightly colored but def woodsy looking, I used black grout & boy was it a mess to clean up....too much pigment !



You can get little primary colored tiles at HD, or Lowes' for cheap, each, and take them home & bust them up....

hhmmm I do have herbs planted through the front
but perennials in the toilet but do not recall what

I'd love a cast iron tub in my garden ! I am still trying to learn to cast...and when I do I want to do my planter on the roadway, which we had to remove due to road widening...now she lays bodiless in our driveway.............

Funny for the day..........................then I have to go make dinner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. He took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message: "Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked."

ok one more..................just for Penny !

One day, a snail was mugged by a couple of tortoises. When the police arrived on the scene they asked, "Can you tell us what you remember about the suspects?" The snail replied, "Oh, I don't know, it all happened so fast!"

quiz me this we gave my girls cut up pumpkin last night
about 4 hours before dark went in to close them in they only ate
the seeds no meat?

they will eat every bit, but seeds first, and the seeds will kill the worms in the intestines.
Often you can go look at dropping the next morning & see dead worms that have been paralyzed & pooped out of the birds at night.
