How can I raise the level of gratitude in my life? Let me count the ways.
Winnie Nielsen says: I love all these cute little birdhouses that you share photo of. They all are so cleverly made from items from around the farm that have outlived their original use. Little pieces of art!
Good Morning MaryJane and happy Monday!
MaryJane says: Good morning Miss Winnie!!!!
Lisa Arthur says: I LOVE birdhouses..the more interesting and unique the better! I have a collection of them and am always on the lookout for them while traveling the USA…the soft blanket of snow just adds to the beauty of this particular one…imagine the stories this little, worn one could tell!
Lisa Arthur says: Looks like a wonderful winter wonderland walk to me!
Winnie Nielsen says: Now that is a Winter wonderland photo for sure! Too pretty.
Cindi says: I hear a Beatles song about to be born 🙂
Lisa Von Saunder says: Too Cute. I love private lanes and their names. Ofcourse here in Amishland we have some pretty neat names of real roads.My favorite is ” Cats Back Road”. I drive on Spook Lane ( a real road) all the time.
Winnie Nielsen says: This is a really fun and appropriate sign for your cows. I love it!
Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!

Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
I have a fetish for bird nests along with old birdhouses..i am always looking for nests, in the trees, under eaves, etc…if i am lucky to find a fallen on I like to keep it. Thank you for this pic!
Love the birdnest! Do you know what kind of bird may live there?
We have two very interesting and different birdnests in our pear tree. One is a very tiny one, made mostly of “fluff” . . probably dog hair. We believe it to be a hummingbird nest.
The other one is quite large, make with twigs, grass and a lot of mud. We’ll be watching this spring to see who moves into that one.
Very cool!
I don’t know the answer to your question CJ. It’s not a barn swallow’s nest; they use mud. Although it’s on my barn. Could it be a Robin’s?
Nice location for a birdhouse! I like that is has built in safety and comfort parameters too. Birds are quite amazing how they select and built their nests.
I just love birdnests. This is last year’s nest so you will have to see who shows up.
I suspect a robin will show up. They build their nests in very human places rather than just trees.
