   Again, a report from our garden. Now, a mysterious tower has appeared!  Is our garden turning into some kind of religious¹ spot? Last month, an offering²-looking³ thingy⁴ and this month, a pagoda-looking kind of thingy was added.

 　

  The truth is…. Will is a birder, so he often enjoys going out and seeing birds. AND ALSO, he prepares food (actually, he cooks it sometimes!) for birds in the winter when food is scarce⁵. We have a couple of bird feeders⁶ on trees in the garden.

 

  So far, we’ve been hanging the bird feeders on the trees, but now he wants to hang them somewhere we can see birds eating from the house.

 

  First, his idea was to use a coat rack. We often see coat racks at thift stores for cheap. Recently when we went to the thrift store⁷, God prepared a very interesting thing for us. It has straight legs, so we can stick⁸ them deep in the soil to make it stable.

 

  In the store, I didn’t like the color so much and Will promised me that he would paint it later, but when he put it in the garden, actually it didn’t look so bad. I gave Will permission⁹ to use it just as it is.

 

  Now we are ready for hungry birds to enjoy the feast¹⁰!!

 

 

 

  By the way, one of our house projects this summer was the bricks in the garden. We added some more and rearranged the path. It’s much easier to walk around in the garden now! It’s fun!
