It's Bird-y Doody Time!

Here's another "Guess Where I Am?" Photo.

Sadly, I am in yet another car wash for the second time in about as many days. Here's the story - we bought this big 25 lb. bag of wild bird seed and put it in a big blue enamel washtub in the front yard. We have had multitudes of Blue Jays, Cardinals, Doves and other very unusual and pretty birds in the front yard. We oooo'ed and aaah'ed out the window all weekend.

Then we walked out to the car.Eye-yi-yi. Little crapheads! So, I guess I will be visiting the local car washes a lot in my future.



I left my tall natural looking Christmas tree in the house and thought I would do a Monthly Holiday tree. Valentine's Day is my first holiday to try it out. I think it's cute and fun to do, but I bet I tire of it in the summer when there is nothing new to change it up. I thought the angel in the window looked Valentine-y - but with the "Christmas" tree - now I'm not so sure. I got the LOVE sign at the Dollar Tree (I heart the Dollar Tree), the little heart ornaments came from Wal-Mart NEW this year (much to my own chagrin) - but they were only $3.88, the framed vintage Valentine was at the thrift last week for 25¢, the red & white pompom garland was an after Christmas score at 99¢ and lastly, the little red cardinals were 5¢ each at the thrift after Christmas. The stuffed animals were won by DH in the claw machine at Wal-mart and promptly stuffed in the tree by him. There are red and whilte lights on it, but hard to photograph. At the top I have a plush red heart that says, "BE MINE."

All of this Valentine Talk reminds me of my first Valentine's Day as a young newlywed. I was working in a grocery store at the time. On each aisle they had these big six foot long signs that said, "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY" with big red hearts on them. The night crew's job was to take all the signs down on Valentine's Day night. So, as I was leaving, I asked if I could take one home, since they were headed to the dumpser. When I got home, I hung it in the doorway leading from the living room to the dining room. DH had to walk through the doorway to get to the rest of the house. He walked in, pushed the giant sign aside and said, "Whatsup?" "Uh, didn't you see the sign?" I asked. "Yeah, I saw it," he responded. And, so began a marraige of fun filled romantic holdiays. Ha ha ha.

I had several comments on the Little People so here's a photo of them all lined up. I know the one on the back that is bigger is something else. But, are the rest Little People or not?
