How to get birds in a bird bath?

Greetings garden lovers!

Today I have a question for you all.... does anyone know how to entice birds to enjoy a bird bath? I was so excited to find this lovely bird bath a few weeks ago. However, I have yet to see a single bird use it!

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated!

Have a lovely day!

Pinterest + Sassafras Tea!

Well, hello garden lovers!

I hope you are having a great February and an amazing beginning to the new year!

It's been a while since I've posted on this blog... but, I am still gardening! And... dreaming of gardening via Pinterest!

Personally, I think that Pinterest is one of the best things since internet and sliced bread.

Some my favorite garden related pins...

I wish there were more hours in the day for Pinterest projects!

hey, where did you come from?!

Ok... something I just have to share!

Last month, I came across the most adorable mug at a little souvineer shop in Big Bear, California. It looks exactly like a mini terra cotta flower pot!

At another small shop in Big Bear... I was lucky enough to find Sassafras tea!

Apparently it is a very rare find! Has anyone ever tried it? If you brew it strong enough... it seriously tastes like sweet, warm root beer!

Flower pot mug + Sassafras tea + relaxing in the backyard = bliss.

love

Are you on Pinterest? I would love to see your garden pin boards!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Purple Delphinium!

Greetings! ♥

The other night, Jon and I ventured into the garden center of a local home improvement store...

and these purple delphiniums immediately caught my eye! ♥

I think this might be my favorite flower! I adore the color... I definitely see these lining the brick retaining wall in the backyard.

And, they are a perennial... which is perfect! (save $$ on next year's plants!)

Have you ever planted these?
