Pam writes, "While experiencing high costs these days, I am always looking for ways to save a few pennies and use what I can around the house or yard. There are hundreds of birds at my house and I am a huge bird lover, so I have several feeders in front and back of the house. Over the course of last winter, I went thru 6 plastic bird baths which proved to be worthless in the cold.
Instead of tossing them out, just flip them over and place a weatherproof plastic dish inside the base and there ypu have yourself a perfect bird feeder. It's got a large rim for the birds to stand on as well. I have goldfinches and Cardinals in it every day, and it gets loads of birds visiting all day long. I go thru about 200 lbs of bird seed a month!" Comments | Permalink

Travel: Rock fences at Shaker Village

Donna writes, "These openings in the rock fences allowed smaller animals like goats and sheep to pass from one pasture to another while containing the horses and cattle. They also allowed rainwater to flow, instead of gathering up and compromising the stability of the walls." Comments | Permalink
