Speaking of concrete bird baths

Tweet

When I was much younger, two houses ago, my neighbor worked for the concrete company in that town. Most people do not realize that when the concrete mixer truck goes on a job, sometimes there is a little bit of cement left over that has to be disposed of. This particular company had molds for planters and birdbaths. They would use up any extra that way. The bird baths and planters were free to employees. My neighbor brought me a bird bath. It is not so pretty as the ones they sell in the store. I will take a picture sometime, just not tonight. It is not going to move anywhere soon. I already have a concrete square under it. At its base are iris plants. I have a plant hanger shepherds crook beside it. I should get a pretty basket to hang there this spring. Or a bird feeder. Last year part of the time I had a hummingbird feeder, but I think I had rather just plant flowers that they like for them to gather nectar. The birds and I would both like that.
