The birds are ready for nesting so we hurried up and built a little thank you gift for our friends who furnish us with rain barrells. 
Their last name is Moon so I thought I'd toss one on their bluebird house.
We had a martin house up for the past 3 years;sadly - without a martin in sight. So this year Thom decided to build a bat house for that pole. He does the constructing, I do the wood burning or painting. As we sit out on the swing on summer evenings, we see the bats whizzing by overhead. The more the merrier - they love eating misquitoes as much as we hate swatting them.
