Artful Home ’s Hearts For Anna is an online fundraiser to be held August 12 – 16.  All funds raised will go to Anna Millea an artist who is fighting breast cancer – again. Anna has been denied insurance, having been deemed uninsurable due to her “pre-existing condition.” This could too easily happen to any of us, so I hope you will support this fundraiser for a sister artist as an art donor or patron.

Inspiration for Tuesday, August 4 – 2009

2009bluebirdhouse12
Number 12

This photo has sort of a “Little House on the Prairie” vibe.  The prairie reserve has a bluebird house trail.  I notice they allow swallows to nest in them also.  I have never had a bluebird nest in any of my houses. I keep cleaning out sparrow nests until I’m sure the bluebirds aren’t going to make a go of it and then put the houses away until the Fall when I put them back out for winter shelter for the chickadees.  It bluebirds can’t nest in my yard, I’m glad they are able to fly out to the prairie reserve and nest in peace.
