Recycled.

A neighbor gave Monte a pile of natural (i.e., untreated) cedar boards leftover from a deck that he just had installed. We planed them, ripped and cut them down to size; turning them into one hundred or so cedar planks for grilling. 🙂

And, I held out several boards to make a bluebird house.

I found the plan online here. I’ll have to wait until spring to see if an eastern bluebird pair find it and make it home. It’s more likely that the house sparrows will claim it. Stay tuned.

Tree house. 

Today was a beautiful sunny Sunday.  I spent the day gardening.  On my way out back this morning, I noticed a bird fly out of our mimosa tree.  On second look he really did fly out of the tree.  Must be a woodpecker?
