Built a new birdhouse for a Flicker.
We saw a flicker hammering away at another,
larger birdhouse as if to attract a mate. We hope
to attract a pair with this new birdhouse.

The front is lined with bark. it is hinged at the top
and can be opened for cleaning.

Here it is up on a tree, in plain view from the veranda.

The Northern Flicker from the bird book.
It is a type of woodpecker.

Another birdhouse recently built and mounted.
This one is intended for a family of House Wrens.
They were nesting in an older house in the same location
last year. Now, in case they are interested, their house
has been replaced with a new model.

Freshly planted ornamental plants in the best soil you can imagine.

Insulation and vapour barrier - all done.

Judy contemplating garden design.

She is a digger. Digging rocks out from the soil.

Ready for transport down the hill.

Great for filling potholes in the driveway.

An on-going project.

The rocks will soon be rolled flat into the softer ground.
