Guess what I found?

A package arrived yesterday containing something great. Here's what it looks like after I took it out of the box:


Can you guess what it is?

Does it help if you see it from this angle?


What about now, after the bubblewrap was removed?


Something is happening... is that a pecking sound I hear?...


...It's...


...another bird planter!


As you may know mine is crumbling after being left outdoors for several winters in a row. I found a replacement on eBay!

It doesn't have a drain hole...


...and is slightly darker than the one I have, but I'm so excited!


I think the planter is happy to arrive in St. Louis too -- is that a bit of a smile I see on that beak?


(I'll be bringing bird planter #2 indoors for winters...)

    I immediately thought of a container of some sort when I saw the bubble-wrapped package :-)

    I am so glad the bird planter made a safe trip from Palmetto, Florida to St. Louis to his new home... I know that you will take good care of it... regards, Rebeca
