I have had many comments on my bird bath...
so today I wanted to do a post and explain why it is what it is...
this really great old chair was a rummage sale find...
$1...
from a dealer friend here in town...
the bottom was gone but it had this great crackly, chippy paint going on...
and the turns on the spindles and legs are pretty to me...
the back has a pressed design of dots...
for years we have tried to have bird baths in the yard...
only to be broken time and again through the night...
cats, raccoons and who knows what else, were drinking from them...
and tipping them over trying to get to the water...
this was my last bird bath top...
so I just put it on the chair...
and we have had this one, unbroken, for 3 years now...
it's stable and everyone can drink from it...
then I got the idea of placing the bricks under it...
this is to keep the legs from sinking in the dirt and rotting...
so here it is...
my very shabby, thrifty bird bath...
$13 total...
and the bases for the bird baths are now topped with painted bowling balls...
gazing balls do not have a long lifespan here either!...
Happy White Wednesday!
