~Morning is Squawking & Churriping~

...yes Churriping is too a word !!!

Supposed to be in the mid to upper 70's today--- Yeah !!
With possability of rain showers this evening !! Droop...

But for right now all the birds out in the yards are Squawking, Trilling, Whistling, and there is one Little fellow that makes the noise like the Invading Aliens Remote Eye thingy in the original version of War of the Worlds (Gene Barry- loved him)--  a  Woobing Woobing  mechanical noise... Poor Birdy cracks me up everytime !!

Drug out my baby acrylic paint bottles and did some touchups...

These two flowers buckets have that raised metal decoration... so I painted them up in My colours !!

 

This Large Bucket had a Blue Daffodil on it...
I kid you not !!

So out came the Churchill Creme spray paint for a Nice Change...
And then I went thru a file folder of Floral printouts... Got my Mod-Podge and Va Va Voom !!

This is the "Beautiful Bouquet" clip-art from The Graphics Fairy I used..
Looks rather Grand If I Do Say So !!

Found these Moroccan type Lanterns on Amazon-  Have them Hung up now and all I need to do is---

--- Get those little battery operated fakey Candle thingys to put in them.

This one hangs right over my head... And they do look Sparkely when the Sun shines thru the Glass !!

Off to grab a Fresh cup of Nescafe'...

I do Hope we all have a Lovely day today !!

Endings of September...

Well-
The patio floor/decking has been completly painted. And the posts and balusters...
Remember all that Green coloured paint- Sea Green, Pine Green. Forest Green, Guacamole Green- etc. that I had worked myself into a nice OCD Quivering froth about ?

After Finally deciding on 'Just The Perfect Shade' of green...

Shirley and I bought blue..

But not just Any old Blue....

A blue called:

BEHR Premium Plus
#S-G-570 Sapphire Lace Interior/Exterior Paint

Could I have gotten further Away from what I had in Mind ??

I do Love it tho. It is brighter and Cheerier and has a 'Pop" to It I truly enjoy.

And Rather Oddly- it Appears to change Shades depending on the Morning/Evening light .
Go Figure...

Painting makes me Happy- the 'After' results show So quick !!

The wall is "Bicycle Yellow"...

Shirley- Painter Extraordinaire' is Bicycley Yellow...

And Here Comes the  "Sapphire Lace'...

 Now she is Sapphirey Blue...

Alice likes it too !!

Her she is Obligingly  looking at the Camera. Showing how grubby the Brand New Paint has already gotten...

There have been quite a few Left-over projects to get finished so Sawdust and Dust and Grubblies are tracked ALL over !!

It does look so nice and Done-
Now to Get this puppy all Decked out in its Autumnal Glory...

Can you hear the Rumble of plastic storage bins filled to the Top with Scarecrows, Silk Leaves, and Faux Flowers being drug across the floor ?

♥~~~~~~~~♥

Do you Know what you get when you use the front & back mesh covering off a broken stand fan, 3 leftover 1"x1" balusters, a 16" plant saucer, and some Sea Shells ??

I made my self a BirdBath..
Oh Yes I Did !!

Screw the wooden pieces to each other-
Screw the fan covers to the top of the Wood Pieces...
Drive pointy end of Wood pieces thingy into the Dirt behind the Blue pot of Ivy... (Remind me- next time soften dirt with water- 'kay ?)

Plant Tall pretty grass into Blue pot of Ivy...

Place Terracotta plant Saucer snugly down in 'bowl' of fan covers...
Add Abalone shell, Conch shell, Oyster shell, & Scallop shell-
Fill with water...

And be Amazed at how many Itty Bitty Birds, Blue Birds, Brown Birds, Gray Birds, Biggerish  Birds and Crickets come to take a thirsty drink... all of whom seem to Visit when I am sans camera of course !!

So... Until Next Time----

It has surely been a Lovely Summer into Fall Season in the Neighbourhood !!
