Just a birdhouse with no roof, but no ordinary roof-less birdhouse. This house is now a home ! This birdhouse was built many years ago by our nephew Kevin*, during a summer visit to Cedar Pond, and over the years the turquoise roof fell apart and finally blew away in a storm. I stuck a small pot of sedums in the little house never dreaming a pair of birds would move in and raise a family.
Can you see the bird ( Oregon Junco) peeking out?
Who knew a roofless birdhouse could be a home? An Oregon Junco, that's who. "To build a house is one thing, but to make it a home is quite another." Louis L'Amour

Haha! Papa Junco is giving you quite a glare! Sweet post, Kathy. It's fun to watch birds nesting and raising a family.
I have a whole planting table full of wee pots of sedum - I wonder if I could do a roofing job with some.
That is so sweet -- and something I've never seen. Thanks for sharing Kathy!
What a pretty little house for any bird. I love to watch the birds fly about with their nest material. It is such a wonderful sign of Spring. Kathy..love the new photo of you and Blizzard. Just so sweet. Hugs, Deb
I loved seeing your Oregon Junco family in their "unique" little home. I am trying to attract birds to my yard this year - not much success yet but watching the squirrels go after the feeders is very entertaining!!
Hi Kathy, I see we were thinking along the same lines with our posts today! Don't you love the sound of the birds singing!
Kathy, I grew up calling junco's "snowbirds"; if we saw them, it meant snow. Love the house and the roof, so adorable.
I am trying to get a family of cardinals to visit my yard. Glad to see your little birdhouse became a home
That's a neat looking bird house with a real plant in it.
Birds are so amazing to me; they work so hard building their nest and caring for their young.... a lot of humans could take a lesson from them.
