This is for the BIRDS!!

 A new concrete birdbath that is! I just purchased this a few days ago at Lowes, we have to keep those cute little birdies happy on those hot summer days! I placed it on our pool deck and planted some petunias around it. I'm getting the pool deck ready for the big "Blog" Party starting on June 20th that the girls over @ http://www.atthepicketfence.com is hosting. There's 12 great blogs involved!! For those of you who may not know about it I have it posted on my sidebar for you to check out!





        I thought the flowers on the top of this one was so pretty.




I love how these petunias have two colors. Purple with a green trim. They will fill this area in nicely in a few weeks!



Now that was just a little peak of our pool deck, I'll be showing the whole thing at the blog block party! Have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by!!  Martina

    This looks so nice with the petunias surrounding the bird bath. The rocks make it look so neat and tidy too. Love this addition and can't wait to see the pool reveal. :)

    Very pretty Martina! I bet the birds will love it. The petunias are so pretty under it too. I can't wait to see the entire reveal at the Blog Party!

    Have a great day.

    Petunias are one of my favorites...so dependable and you can forget about them for a day or two and they don't die! The bird bath is lovely...I had one but the top broke and I never replaced it. Maybe I will! Happy Sunday...~Ann

    Martina, that is a pretty one. I can't keep mine clean or water in it. It dries up so fast with no rain lately. Maybe since yours is closer to your house it will stay nice.

    What a pretty birdbath. And your 2-toned petunias are so sweet. I've never seen ones like that before. Looking forward to the big reveal. Have a lovely week. x Sharon

    Love the bird bath. I just think they are classic - plus, the birds love 'em! Especially in the heat we are having right now! Linda

    Adorable, you will enjoy seeing the birdies playing there. I thought I was following, but any way I just refollowed. That happened at a lot of blogs that I know I had followed before. Maybe I was following with another account. Oh well. Love the burlap too!!

    I've never seen petunias like that. How pretty! You know, I keep my birdbaths filled, and I NEVER see birds at it.

    That is a cute birdbath. I'll have to check it out at Lowes. Someone broke the top of mine into about 20 pieces. The dog swears she didn't do it, so it must have been a opossum trying to crawl into it.

    I haven't seen those petunias before! It is going to look so pretty when they fill in the space!

    I'm your newest follower; hope you'll come follow me, too!

    Well, your new birdbath looks a lot better than the one I just set out in my landscaping. LOL I need to bring out the bleach and the scrub brush! Yours is pretty, with the flowers on the rim. Hope you get the birdies!
