Our new Bird Bath

We have really enjoyed having a bird feeder in our backyard, and so we decided to get a bird bath. Considering the dry weather we have had this past summer, it seemed like a bird bath would be really great for all the birds who come to eat at our "free restaurant" bird feeder!

The birds have been coming in big groups to take baths and get drinks of water! Jason and I and our kitty cats love to watch the doves, blue jays, cow birds, sparrows, and cardinals jump in the water and then shake and flutter their feathers all over! Water flies on all sides and they get spic and span clean! They also sit on the edge and drink in little sips of water--the sparrows are really cute when they drink water. We are planning to plant some flowers around the bird bath, but haven't had time to do it yet! We'll take some more photos sometime to show you how beautiful the flowers look around it....hopefully in the next few months.
