Springtime Bird Cage

Hi Friends! 

I took a little bit of time this afternoon to take some pictures 

of my iron birdcage that's on our deck 

just outside of my art room. 

Last summer I simply "guessed" at what kind of plant to buy for 

a container I wanted to put into my birdcage. 

I had visions of a pretty vine running throughout the cage.  

The plant I picked out is a "Vinca" 

which is actually a ground cover. 

I really enjoyed it last summer with it's simple purple flowers and little 

vines I started to train through the cage. 

Well, since I had never really "lived" trough a winter here with all the 

rain and chill, I just figured that it wouldn't survive, and 

come this spring I would be 

re-planting another vine for the birdcage.

Then, one day, I looked out and happened to notice lots of little purple flowers...

lots of them! 

This little plant survived the winter in it's little container and 

seems very happy weaving through the cage. 

When the sun came out this afternoon, it looked so pretty out there 

I just had to show you! 

I remember finding this heavy birdcage at an antique store in 

Las Vegas and I just had to have it. 

I think, like me, it's finally found 

it's home and is very happy. 

We're supposed to have a day of sun tomorrow, so I will be outside 

playing in the garden and also resting up for a few days of 

work next week. 

I'm looking forward to getting by to see what all of you have 

been up to!
