Traditionally, our family prefers competitive events to strengthen our ties (Scattergories, Bananagrams, and Scrabble are some favorites around here). But we decided that painting bird houses would suffice for a couple of weeks. My sister went with a classic barn motif, Mommie Dearest painted mini portraits of our pets looking "out" the bird house windows, and Dad had an octagon shaped house that he decided to paint with loud yellows and reds and the addition of several faux-entrances for confusion. I went with a slightly different theme for mine. I wanted to bring awareness to the serious safety concerns of World Naked Gardening Day on May 8th this year. My bird house will serve as a warning to neighbors who may be considering participation in this event; sure they have considered the additional sunscreen (and perhaps are planning on being more aware of the bumblebee that frequents my wisteria this time of year), but have they really considered the ramifications of being natural in nature?
Just my way of giving back
