CLEAN the "floor"!!! { Bird Sanctuary Day 1}
Wow! A beautiful day! Sun, slight breeze and enough energy to DO something!! LOL
Beginning the "spring clean" of the bird sanctuary. Each year, I like to add a few "new" things, and clean the area.
#1 priority .. clean the "floor" for the birds. It was verrrry nasty, after all the winter weather and regular pine cone/straw drops!
Used the leaf blower to easily "move that mess" right on out! It did take more time than I had figured!!
Lamar was my "helper" today! Yep. He raked behind the back timber, while I cleaned, about a ft. of space, around the right side, and front.
...before Lamar set up bird bath
It's nice to see -- now the birds have a clean "floor" !!
#2 Repaint lg. staff for bird feeders.
Done. Looks like brand new!! It was rusty and so needed some attention!
Also. Replaced "country store" birdhouse. This one I already had on hand. In fact, a much LOVED gift from Stacey&Marc years ago. It had been on my porch and preserved very well! It looks great in this new location...
Pic before bird feeders returned. (have paint plans for those, too!)
It's so wonderful that Lamar is beginning to get "out" and enjoy his life again.
After the cleaning, he fed the birds.
Lamar & I make a GREAT "team".....we play well together!! LOL
Next good weather day, will begin cleaning "stuff", and redesign area---adding a couple of "new" things.
Feel comfortable with work completed today. Love seeing the "end" product after hard work!!
