Ooh Eliza, the bird isn’t under that ice on top protecting the house for next Spring…is it? The rents can’t be that bad surely 🤣🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
It’ll get a spruce up before the wrens return in the spring. 🙂
You’ll be loved for miles 😂🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️❤️🙏
Cute bird house and I hope it’s in there keeping warm
Merci, Sheree. The house wrens who lived there have wisely flown to warmer climes!
Wholly understandable
What a cute little cap of snow.
Thank you, Dawn. Bird houses are so charming after a snow. 🙂
I’ll take it! 😂
Ha! It has great views, faces southeast, good solar gain. 😀
SOLD! 😁
😀
Thanks for the smile, and I love the header shot.
Thank you, Judy. My sister sent a shot of her mantel and I thought it’d make a sweet header. 🙂
Do you ever see a feathery friend using that house in the winter?
Not that wren house, but the bluebirds do roost in the bigger houses.
😄 Or (cold) Air B & B?
Definitely not heated, ha!
An off-season rental? Cheep!
Ha, yes, a bargain! 😉
I built a box hoping to attract a screech owl. Instead, its a part-time home for a squirrel.
Yes, rodents love bird houses! Mice love mine. 😉
Perfect!
Thank you, Julie! 🙂
Fun!
Thanks, Laurie! 🙂
Stay warm, feathered friends 🙌🏼🌟✨❤️
🙂
Lovely that you know your usual renters! That snow though, brrr!!
It has been quite chilly, but we’re to get a few days reprieve with day temps rising above freezing for a change. 👍🏼 Thanks, Allison!
Ha! Birds have more sense.

🙂 One would hope so! 😀
Great picture and post title. Perfect for WW, perfect in any season!
Thank you, Bruce!
I did not interpret your photo correctly before I opened your post. My brain saw something entirely different, and now it makes sense that it is a birdhouse. I think it’s time for my nap!
🙂 😴
Your photo and title are a perfect match 😊
Thanks, Belinda!
So very cute and homely for the little birdies. 🪺
Thank you, Flavia. This is a house wren abode. there are usually two broods a summer if all goes well.
Love the photo and title!🙂
Thank you, S! 🙂
Special seasonal rates for a qualifying bluebird…
Right you are, Tom! 😀 Although the resident pair of blues seem to favor a larger house just beyond this one.
Just a guess – seemed like a good spot for a bluebird!
Maybe if I cleaned it out. Wrens fill the thing with sticks, so there isn’t much room in there. 🙂
Haha-cute! Is there a lower rate during the cold season?
Definitely! 😉
Cute!
Thanks, Alys!
Renters better take advantage of this one — looks like it’s going to be a cold winter!
Bargain-priced, too. 😀
Ha Ha and today there will be a reason to rejoice that snow on its roof will be but a memory.
Yes, patches of snow are melting away as I write. I am dreading when it turns to ice tonight. 😦 Boot spikes needed!
I have the cleats ready. I have to be out of here by 7:30 tomorrow for an all day craft fair. Hope I am up to it. I will pack the car with my watercolors and cards tonight and pray I can climb my hill come morning.
🤞🏼 👍🏼
Love the title of this post, so cute. And then we had that crazy wind and rain and temps in the 50’s yesterday, I imagine it is a different scene now.
Thanks, K. A lot of snow melted, but there are still patches about. 2″ coming on Tues!
My snow is all melted, saying a coating of snow here Tuesday, “south” of you!
Your blog is so festive with all the snow! And looking at the photo it looks like there even is some snow in real life?
Yes, though we had an inch of rain yesterday and temps in the low 50s, we still have patchy snow left. An inch expected on Tues. to whiten things up for Christmas.
You can enable snow on your own WP blog by going to settings and hit ‘Enable Snow’ then below that the speed of snow falling. Not sure how long it lasts, I think it ends at some point.

Merry, merry back to you!
Your “Off-Season Rental” is funny enough that you could rent it out to people in need of a title.
🙂 Thanks, Steve.
