Ahh Spring

Now that spring is finally here and the eternal yard work has begun, I give you…

And…

And…

I had an idea this weekend for how I could crochet a bird house. I used the Mexican thicker nylon crochet thread. I used to watch my friends in Mexico crocheting doilies with the thinner nylon thread but I'd never used it before. I used a size G hook and single crochet for the base and changed to double crochet for the body. Really easy make but I'm not sure the birdies will like it. I've hung it out on the front porch where most of the little birds hang out. They try to nest under my awning so we'll see. 

Heard a woodpecker tonight in the back. I think that's the first time I've heard one in IL.
