Garden Addition

I am thrilled to share our latest addition to the garden. 

This time last year, we had just finished a new pathway.


This year we have something brand new.

Can you guess what it is?

    1. Yes Nancy! Well spotted. I was waiting for someone to say a giant tiki candle … or a plinth for a Buddha statue 💛

        1. Its a bat house Colleen! I hadn’t seen one until Don got the plans off the internet. He built it and erected it with a friend last week. Not easy – its 20feet high!

          1. How fascinating!!! As long as the bats are up that high I wouldn’t fret about my hair while watching them 😉

  2. What fun! We erected a bat house very similar to what yours looks like shortly after we moved in. Erected in the early months of 2013. But, to date, no one has moved in! 😦

    So the best of luck with yours and, maybe, we should rethink where ours is situated.

    1. Good luck with yours Paul! We smeared ours with bat guano ( courtesy of a local barn where bats hang out) I didn’t get too close for the experience 😉

  5. I was going to guess either bat house or butterfly house, which look sometimes similar. That is great, I hope you get many ‘tenants!’ I love bats.

      1. I first came across them when, 3 or 4 years ago, I watched a man building a house in the forest. Council building regulations required him to erect 3

        1. Wow! I guess the council likes to create communities 😉

  9. I’ve always wanted to have bat houses. We have lots of mosquitoes and they were around when I first moved in. It flew right by my ear. Haven’t seen them since. We need them.

    1. Yes we do need more of them Marlene! The numbers have been reduced due to white fungal disease of the nose. Apparently the newer generation may be resistant to the disease … and we want to encourage them!! 🦇🦇🦇
