Both the red fence and the aesthetically 'greened-up' bird cage merit praiseworthy mention, not forgetting, of course, your marvellously handy husband's tireless efforts in all that heat! Now, that's love for you, Mona! And I'll bet he loved his breakfast in return. <br /><br />Poor little tweety birds though, being given such an unholy scare! You certainly remedied the damaged cage with your usual finesse/aplomb! It looks wonderful sporting it's ivy drape and I am sure the birds love the effect, too! <br /><br />Happy days, sipping iced lemonade and reading!<br /><br />Big hug,<br />Des xoxoDesireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-55245348837759134992011-07-21T09:13:41.120-07:002011-07-21T09:13:41.120-07:00He is a keeper Mona.

I didnt know you have birds! Anything that I would put on the top of mine or anywhere else on the cage will be thoroughly chewed and gotten excited over. The red fence I like. I have 2 older wooden chairs that are so comfy and I think a good dose of red paint would make them look good too! Stay cool as you can...it's very hot and humid here in the south.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13800999516616856785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-90788322129540672142011-07-20T21:34:45.053-07:002011-07-20T21:34:45.053-07:00Quite the opposite here, cool and mostly rainy and...Quite the opposite here, cool and mostly rainy and I´m painting as well. So i hope it won´t start raining until late afternoon so I can continue to paint my windows today.<br /><br />I´m not sure about having a pot of Ivy in the top. Those birds can easily chew their way out if they just figures it out and I think Ivy is toxic for them (as it is for us if we should chew on it). <br /><br />Perhaps a begonia would be better (never geraniums though, birds died from eating them here before we understood that).<br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Christer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-78709889455154202492011-07-20T19:22:36.274-07:002011-07-20T19:22:36.274-07:00It is HOT everywhere!

That planter looks good in the bird cage - do the birds agree too? Never read Jane Austen, but have a volume with several of her novels.

It will crack and peel sooner than it should and might require re-painting!! Shouldn't paint when the temperature is higher than 80 or so. Seriously! <br /><br />(Hubby worked a LOT of years in the paint and coatings industry.)<br /><br />MelMellodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515414035373189099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-31478226777762600062011-07-20T17:58:39.154-07:002011-07-20T17:58:39.154-07:00What a clever solution, Mona.

I like the potted plant on the cage, I think it gives it character. You did good.

Kudos to hubby for painting as long as he did in that heat. <br /><br />We have a parrot. MESSY!!! The ivy does look good on the cage. Do you find it hard to keep it all cleaned up?
