Birdhouse Spotting: Gainsborough Rd., west of Hyde Park

My wife and I picked up a few tomatoes yesterday for our (soon to be) magnificent garden, and on our way to a second garden center I spotted some of the fanciest birdhouses I've seen in a long time.


Even the mailbox is worth a picture.


Paint, fancy trim, chimneys - pretty big job. The builder must be retired!

Wow. Would I ever want to work this hard on one birdhouse? (1... 2... no, never!)


1165. I hope that's just the address on Gainsborough, and not the price.

My next project, i.e., purple martin houses, won't come close to being as fancy.

I'm slowly working toward 'humble.'
