At the
beginning of winter this year I moved the bowl of our bird bath into the garage
for safe-keeping. I use an ordinary large
flower pot for the base but the bowl is a decorative piece which we had made in
North Queensland and cost us quite a few dollars. I was worried that we might have a heavy
frost one night and the bowl would suffer.
Although we are now having warmer days, frosts are still a possibility. I wasn’t worried about the base and left it
in the garden.
This
morning, I noticed two blackbirds bouncing around the rim of the flower pot. “They’re
looking for their bath,” said Marilyn, so I retrieved the bowl from the garage,
put it where it belonged and filled it up with fresh water.
Within five
minutes, the two blackbirds were in the water, having a bath. Why do I think I’m being manipulated?
Marilyn's getting ready for her Craft morning but I suspect she's starting to lose enthusiasm for going out. The weather is cold and our loungeroom is warm. Our chairs are more comfortable than the ones at the centre and, maybe, the conversation with the other ladies is not as interesting as it once was. I won't be surprised if she decides to have a break until the warmer weather returns.
