A Give Away!!

This is a first for me! I’ve not gotten to give away many things, and this feels like “the big time” to me. You see, I was contacted, recently, by a company named Teak, Wicker and More dot com. They’ve offered to provide an item for a give away, and y’all are going to get it. Well, one of y’all is going to get it….
The item for review will be provided by Teak Wicker and More, purveyors of outdoor furniture.
And, what have I chosen for you?
A Dragonfly bird feeder. This feeder is on a post and, to me, looks as if it could double as a shallow bird bath, or perhaps a good place to put pebbles and some water for butterflies to drink. Personally, I may be ordering one of these, or something similar, myself. The specs on this item are: (from website)

Bowl shaped
Verdigris finish
Adds charm to any home or garden
(I agree, I like the looks of this too)
Includes 17″ stake
Made of metal
Dimensions: 9″ Diameter x 16.5″H

The birds already use the disappearing fountain as a bird bath, and I enjoy watching them there. I’ve wanted to set out a place for butterflies to puddle, feed or drink, so that might be another option for the feeder.
However, as I have a resident cat and two dogs, I will probably be hanging my butterfly station somewhere close to a place I like to sit.


This hanging bird bath looks like it might fit the bill for either a feeder (fruit passed it’s prime, especially watermelon), or a drinking station. For the drinking station, I’d fill it with some sand and pebbles and keep it moist. It would probably be a hit with bees too, and I know I’m on the “where’s water at” map at where ever the hive is… they come to the water gardens and precariously hang onto the side, or sit on a lily pad to sip water to take back to the hive. A water source for them is essential during the summer, as they use it to help keep the hive cool.

I like the decorations on the hanging one as well as the bird feeder. They’ve got dragonflies on them. I like dragonflies, they eat mosquitoes and anything that will do that is my friend forever.

So, what would you make with one of these? A bird feeder, a bird bath, a butterfly station?

Leave a comment and I will print them out, and draw from a hat for the winner.
