The sun finally came out and stayed out so I haven't spent much time potting this week. Instead I have been outside at every chance, catching up on all the stuff that needs doing. The grass was so long the next step would have been a hay baler!
The birds were looking for water for baths, the upturned lids and shallow pans were working just fine. The birdies probably don't care but I do so I knew it was time to get out the bird baths. These are the ones I have kept over the last twenty-five years or so. I also use them as pasta platters and even have carved a small turkey on one.
Some of them have cracks which I mended with epoxy, others had flaws I wasn't pleased with. The birds seem to enjoy them.
The sun is out again. I think I finally have managed to get the pool balanced; it just needs a good vacuuming and we are set to swim....again!
This post can also be found over on Mud Colony. Everyone should take a look to see clay around the world!
Enjoy the day, and as always, thanks for stopping by...........*s*
Lucky birds to have such beautiful baths!

ReplyDeleteHi Barbara.....I'm not sure it matters to them, however they are pretty to look at.
Deleteoh so much going on these, love them
ReplyDeleteHi Linda.....My original reply went 'somewhere'.....try again. I really enjoy having a large surface to work on.
DeleteDearest Suzi,
ReplyDeleteOh, your birds must be bragging about their fine pottery for drinking and bathing. Epoxy can do a lot for us but if it is no more pleasing, this is an excellent use.
Enjoy your garden and the pool.
Happy week ahead.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hi Mariette....Sometimes I think my world survives on ducktape and epoxy!
DeleteEnjoy the week ahead.
Really pretty pieces.....xox
ReplyDeleteHi Corrine.....Thanks.
DeleteThe birds should really enjoy using such beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori....I hope they enjoy them. I think they really are just as happy with trash can lids.
DeleteThey're all beautiful. You must take very good care of your things...25 years. They're lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth...Thanks, these are the survivors. I've lost countless pots to cats, carelessness and so forth!
