It is #MarketFriday in #MyCalifornia!

Some businesses in town have reopened their doors to the public!

But, like a stick in the mud, I go to my favorite store as part of my weekly trek.

My #marketfriday is for the birds!

What? For the birds?

Yes--- help me pick a birdhouse!

Which of the birdhouses above is your favorite?

Why a birdhouse? Well...

"For I hope some little birds will come to my yard and choose my little birdhouse for their home. I shall hang it in the boughs of a tree. And I'm sure as rent for it, the birds will sing to me!" Poem by Evaleen Stein

And since we are already here in the Nursery...

look at these African violets in deep colors.

Aren't they so pretty?


I took photos of these beautiful orchids especially for @dswigle.

Denise is as lovely these flowers!

😍 #ilikeitalot!😍

Woot, woot!! So very pretty! I have that first-year issue too, I got in when we first started. I can't afford that coin now. It is a pipe dream for me to complete the Kook set from the very first year... I still have to complete the ASE set the series that started 4 years earlier in 1986 than the Kook. But in time, sis... in time we will. Heck, if it was the only focus of my year, then I would have completed the ASE two years again. Alas, there's just so many beautiful shinies we've gotta have, lol! Dang, I am giving myself another three years to complete my ASE. In 2003, and if we are still around, I will showcase the complete set! Is that a goal? I made a dent on the Pandas.. hmmm... maybe I can show that in the future! Do you remember MrSenator? Well, he was the one who inspired me to do an album set of ASE. Do you think he is was in the US Senate? I've always wondered!
Have a great day, my lovely sis @kerrislravenhill! Take care 🥰🌺🤙 lots of love and a million hugs and kisses 🤗💕💋!

Although I do my own stonework and I love the stone birdhouse, I think I have to go with the green birdhouse! I think the birds will be happy with whatever birdhouse you pick @silversaver888, and you'll have entertainment outside your window all summer!
And the winner is.😀......let us know my friend, have fun picking one out my friend! 😍😍😀

I actually like that one very much. One side is open for birds to come in. The otherwise has a door an two windows with flower boxes, just like in the photo. I like it because it is larger than the others and can accommodate a couple of small birds, a good shelter from the rain. And the winner will be announced Friday next week!😀
Have a great evening, my friend @silvertop, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I am sure along with us here, there are a lot of little birds waiting for the winner!
It's always nice to think of the birds, our Neighbor in Colorado put out a birdhouse on a tall pole. I didn't have a clue what he was doing, later I found out this was for purple martins. they love Mosquitoes, Talk about a natural insect repellent Lol!
have a good night my friend!!😍😍😀

Good stuff! I personally like the stone birdhouse but I would think the birdhouse would need to be a good match with the things near it so not too sure in that regard! Thanks for sharing!

Me too... I like the stone birdhouse. I think it is unique and different from the usual birdhouses!
Thanks for helping me pick the right one, my friend! Have a great weekend, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

As for the birdhouse, I would pick the one that looks like it's a stone birdhouse; the last picture you took. Flowers, yes they are beautiful, but I prefer your purples, and deep pinky-rose colors, which you took pictures of. Very nice eyecandy, sis! I wish we had a nursery here locally that was as nice as where you go. Thank you for sharing @silversaver888 and tons of hugs and love coming your way!💕🤗😘🌸

Pins and purples are my favorite colors too. I think that is the reason why I am so attracted to them. I picked up several for the kitchen window sills! I know that all the potted plants in this nursery are from greenhouses. THe flowers that you show us every night on your blog are a result of mother nature's care, and they are super special and amazing!
Have a lovely evening, and thanks for letting me know which birdhouse you like (because guess what... I like that one very much too!!!) Take care, my sweet sis, @elizabethbit, 🥰🌺🤙 and lots of love and hugs 🤗💕

You really outdid yourself with those orchids! The yellow and red one is my favorite, I think! Bold and beautiful. There is something exotic about orchids. Perhaps it is because they are not native to here?

Perhaps it is because of their uniqueness?

I absolutely adore the stone birdhouse, but, I must say that my birds prefer cozy little spaces for some reason. And I have read (repeatedly) that stay away from white as it signals danger to birds. As a practical person, I would probably pick the first one as it is pretty and the yellow one. Here is the reason. The others are beautiful and I love them, however, once they have babies and are back and forth and pooping (yes, nasty as it is, they will) all over the porches on the cool looking ones. The entire thing will look dirty. So, less is best for me.

As an aside, the stone one rocks, but, that thing looks monstrous and heavy. So, unless you put it on a pole or a big oak tree, I would say pass.

I am looking forward to seeing what you picked! Such a cool post!!! You always do me so proud!

My dearest and sweetest @dswigle!!!! I first heard about you from @tattoodjay. He used superlatives describing how you bring in the sunshine in his blogging life. That was how I joined your weekly challenge the first time. And each and every time, you reciprocated with so much love in your beautifully worded comments... you, indeed, bring sunshine🌞 into my blogging life. The orchids are no comparison to your beautiful soul, my lovely friend! 🌻🌹🌼🌷
Have a fabulous week, and take care 🥰🌺🤙
