This is my grandbaby experiencing the river for the first time. She is fascinated by running water, taps, hoses and loves to play in the sink when she comes to visit.  The moment we took her out of the car seat she made a run for the river and was sitting in it within minutes of arriving at the cottage. The river floor is rocks and weeds but she didn't seem to notice.  

My son gave me a nice Wren house, but they seem much more interested  in this brightly coloured one I got from the dollar store.  I made a little swing in the trees and I am thrilled that so many birds have actually used it to perch. Its just a stick and some string. The bigger birds have taken pieces of it to build their nests.
