Cutest $2.40 spent

One good thing about Hobby Lobby dragging out their fall and Christmas stuff in the middle of JUNE is that most of the spring/summer stuff is on clearance.

I ran across a metal birdhouse on clearance 80% off.  What would have cost $11.99 came to a whopping $2.40 (if it was the other price, I wouldn't have purchased it).  We have an unknown tree landscaped close to the front of our home and I knew it would be perfect on it.  (I think that the tree may be a crape myrtle but an absence of summer flowers might diminish that hypothesis) I wonder if any birds will make it their home?

 

My hosta sprouted a bloom.  Yay for a success at not killing it these first few months

.

Also, last week I really wished to be an environmentalist.  A side of me was so sad to see the expansion of our neighborhood into the fields behind our home.  It's been such a beautiful sight to look out upon.  And from our encounters, it will be sad to see the homes of the deer and turkeys taken away.
I think our next home will be more secluded and country like.
