Every year around this time, when my Spring Clematis blooms, we change the look of the bird feeder. The red top is taken off and the pink one set in its place.
The bottom piece is three-sided and slips over the tiled front.
Here the Clematis is not yet in full bloom. In the background you can see our 20 foot high Lilac. It's getting harder and harder to reach any of the flowers.
There is a lilac bush across the street in a yard no one cares for much ( the man who lived there alone died recently). That shrub has the most lovely white blooms that are tinged with pink until they open fully. DH knows how much I love those flowers so he went to get me just one blossom. Yes, that is a single one. Isn't it huge?
Thanks for stopping by,

Oh, I love that you can change the look of your birdfeeder. I have never seen a lilac that big! Love the ONE your hubby got for you....LOL And I really like the view above it..
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to give the bird feeder a spring look. : )
ReplyDeleteLove lilacs, they always remind me of my grandmother. She loved them and had them growing in her yard next to the living room windows and when she opened the windows the fragrance just floated in side.
Look at your adorable home with those clematis in bloom!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible size that lilac blossom is and I love the little bit of pink that is showing.
Such a great idea changing out your birdhouse.
Lovely visit here today :-)
Your clematis Montana is beautiful. How clever of you to be able to change out the color of your decorative bird house.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. Your backyard is amazing and your lilac bushes Take My Breath Away. Happy Mother's Day! Connie:)
ReplyDeleteWell, you clever people. Changing the color of your birdfeeder! I didn't know lilacs got that tall! The white one is gorgeous. I hope you're enjoying a cooler evening. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your lilacs... mine are so tiny and not at all plentiful. I love how you change up the birdfeeder... very clever!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that lilac before. Beautiful. You make an inviting place for all the birds.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a gorgeous lilac! And your yard is quite beautiful with so many things blooming. The clematis.... just lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour Clematis is just beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteYour clematis montana is doing the same as mine......expressing itself freely!
ReplyDeleteoh that bird feed is just transformed from one beauty to another! the flowers overhead are so beautiful! and that lilac! wow! got your comment on my blog. do let me know when the eye procedure is so I can pray esp for it. God bless you dear one!!!
ReplyDeleteThe clematis is beautiful! Maybe you could take a cutting from the lilac and try to root it. I'd give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI love that unusual bird feeder and how you can change the look. Your clematis is beautiful. Oh I wonder if the little lilac bush I planted last year will ever have big beautiful blooms. It bloomed this spring but the blooms were very small and puny looking. That one your husband is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of changing the look of the bird house and the clemantis is a delight so pretty.
