First Time For Everything

But there's always a
first time for everything.
...Melissa de la Cruz

After feeding the squirrels and birds for a few years, I decided it was time to find a birdbath as well. I read that birds can die from lack of water, especially in the summertime. I started out with a bowl on a bench until I could find an actual birdbath that I liked. When I found this pretty ceramic turquoise one, I stopped looking. I bought it for a birthday present to myself in May.

When I walked outside last Monday, the bowl was on the ground in pieces. It was glued to a base that locks into the pedestal. The glue failed. I am not sure what happened.

Again, where is the video camera when I need one? I have seen Peanut Butter (neighbor kitty) trying to drink out of it but I am passing no blame without proof. Or it could have been a squirrel or a "no good very bad day" for Katniss. She has never broken anything or knocked anything off a table before...until the puzzle the same day as this.

I will get another birdbath of some kind and use this pedestal for a plant stand, gazing ball or other idea. This photo was taken after I received and set it up for the first time.
What a shame. That is beautiful.

I am sure Katniss would not have broken your lovely birdbath. Good to make use of the base.

Katniss might appreciate them too...

So sorry it was broken. Good idea to provide water for the birds. There sure isn’t much for them this year.

I love that birdbath.
