Painted Birdhouses !

Good morning everyone !

The weather's been glorious in Montreal - absolutely glorious - but we still can't plant flowers until the third week in May - that's the rule of thumb in these here parts.

So...............I added color to the garden with these dollar store birdhouses that I painted in vibrant colors !

And hung them from my vintage ladder/arbor

in front of my vintage door

They're a far cry from flowers.....................but they'll do.
At least for a few more weeks !

Have a wonderful day everyone
Much love,
A quiet me
( for a change )

THAT'S WHAT CHE SAID

Vixen - the Jewelry Tree Reindeer

Had a very normal nose
But if you ever saw her
You would see she wore no clothes

All of the other reindeer
(All of which shall be un-named )
Had a way of making Vixen
Bow her head and feel ashamed

Then one warm and lazy night
Suzan walked on by
Tossed a ring or two her way
and Vixen said " Oh my ! "

Now all the other reindeer
No longer look at her with scorn

In fact they all were wishing
They could also be adorned........................

Unlike Santa, I make my reindeer work year round
Well Vixen and Dancer anyway

I sang the song to John.

John says - Have you had a knock? ( this must be a British Expression - he's the only one I know that says it
John says - You know you really should be committed.......................
John says - Does anyone actually read this stuff?
John says - And it's blatant plagiarism

OMG
DISCLAIMER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert L. May created Rudolph in 1939 as an assignment for Chicago-based Montgomery Ward. The retailer had been buying and giving away coloring books for Christmas every year and it was decided that creating their own book would save money. Rudolph was supposed to be a moose but that was changed because a reindeer seemed friendly.^[ 
ORIGINAL LYRICS BY JOHNNY MARKS  ( Robert L May's brother-in-law )
( I thought it was Bing Cosby - so you learn something every single day )
First sung by Gene Autry - Christmas 1949

( my version, however, can be sung all year long )

And I kind of like that they add a bit of fun to an otherwise adult space - being a grown up is so over rated - don't you think?

Have a wonderful day everyone - an absolutely wonderful one !

Much love,
Me
