Bird Nests

I read in a magazine this week that it is illegal to keep bird nests...Of course, they eliminate the grackles and sparrows...I am glad or I would be in jail...LOL...I love to find them laying on the ground after a wind storm. The Grackles have finally moved on from our huge pine tree in the front yard...the wind kept blowing down their nests.
I have them neatly lined up on the porch where I can see them every day.





I think they look better with birds in them....






The bullfrog is still alive...he stays in the water most of the time. I have been feeding him some dry dog food, drop a few in the water at night....


My flowers live as long as I remember to pour on the water. They dry out so quickly in the heat. I love flowers......
