This is the neighborhood where Will and Grace live. It is located outside my kitchen window... It really is just for the birds..If you haven't heard of Will and Grace, they have a blog on my sidebar, in fact it was recently Grace's birthday I hope you didn't miss it ...feel free to catch up by clicking on the sidebar picture.....This is an up and coming neighborhood with new restaurants and pubs going up all the time.....Will and Grace live in the house with the tall roof...Ronald lives in the pale yellow house and Clarisa lives in the tiny house with the rock patio in front.....Will will be replacing his front walkway this week, he says it is just not inviting enough....
This view is outside the den window at kind of an angle...you can see what a lively and colorful community it is..It's a busy place and the real estate business is booming, prices are through the roof...It's a good thing Will and Gracie got in on the ground floor, their house is old but very comfortable...
This is Clarisa on her porch having lunch....she always enjoys a good meal and is never distracted..." I hope Ronald will stop by and join me for lunch before I eat it all".
You all know Jack, he prefers this pub, Club 58... soon Karen will join him for some chit chat...you can see the doorman waiting for Karen...
Clarisa stops her lunch," whose there, someone is coming around the corner, who could it be this time of day...Ohhhh Hello Ronald..so happy you could join me"
Ronald has decided to pay Clarisa a little visit and being the lady she is has invited him to dine with her..."Try the fruit and nut mixture"...Ronald lives in the tall pale yellow house above clarisas..
Yummyummmyummmmyyummmm....."I could never turn down a meal with you my sweet"
Jack is still at the Club 58 ...it has the brand he prefers, and Karen is always right behind...what a pair...
This is the motel down the road a bit, I don't even want to know what goes on there, best to not even discuss the place...I hope they remodel soon....I think it would be a great Bed and Breakfast....
This is a new restaurant that was just built...It hasn't been doing very well, not in this warm sunny area...
It is always to difficult to eat here, "Hello is anyone there" "Can I get a drink, I am falling off this perch"....It doesn't even have a name...
Something was missing, then one day I looked out and the place was as busy as a bee, what was different...
Oh my gosh, what a difference the patio makes,, "The Ivy."..wow the patio is to die for, anyone who is any one is at The Ivy...
Can you believe the waiting line for lunch, "I can't believe we got in" Oh Will you always get us in all the hottest places"
Wow what a huge improvement, more gathering, chatting and everyone is trying to get in....this place is a flutter of activity...
He will just have to wait his turn...
.I hear another place called the Coffee Cup Cafe is coming, it is all pink with roof top dining.... and a killer view....really something to tweet about...lets take a peek, the rooftop seating is not open, but I just can't wait...lets go take a look..
There it is ...The Coffee Cup Cafe, "Oh I just love it, see it there... next door to Clarisa's house.."
Oh my gosh, they did paint it hot pink, have you ever seen such a thing....wow
This is Karen, she prefers to stick with Jack at the Club 58...I think she is in a daze by now....
Thank you for indulging me today, it is a beautiful spring day and the birds and flowers have taken me away...I will be doing more posts on my back yard as I am preparing for the Garden Tour in my city which is the 28th of April and I was very honored and excited my backyard was selected for these wonderful garden lovers to view...hope you can join me ...I will also take pictures of the tour when the guests arrive...Please leave a comment and I am trying to figure out a name for this Bird neighborhood, maybe you would have a suggestion...I sure hope so...It's a very exclusive area and does deserve a name.... I am joining

As a bona fide bird lover and birdy mama, I LOVE this post, and all you do to keep our feathered friends well cared for and happy outdoors. I am thinking of a name, I may have to get back to you on it. xo
ReplyDeletehow about............Birdlandia? Feathers' Lodge?? The Nest??? lol
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty creative...
DeleteSo very beautiful. I have to sign my husband up to follow you too (even though he doesn't follow blogs) because he will love your sweet birds and will surely want to help me create a lovely bird area in our yard too! Blessings, Patti
ReplyDeleteoh oh am I in trouble...or does he love doing this kind of stuff...
DeleteNo me extraña que los PÁJAROS busquen tu MARAVILLOSO JARDÍN!!!

Good Morning Phyllis, I just had to stop by to say hello, as Phyllis is also my mother's name.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I think Will and Grace live in the equivalent of The Dorchester Hotel in London....receiving all the tasty morsels they need for a lavish lifestyle.
I have enjoyed my visit and have become a new follower. I would like to invite you to visit, Ivy, Phyllis and Me! when you have the time, as you would be most welcome.
Enjoy your day.
Sending best wishes from England, Daphne
That is so sweet! It's like a new York city garden without the concrete everywhere! an I love how it's personal for you with the naming! I do that too with the squirrels....great job and I love your plants!!!
ReplyDeleteI really envy your lush green back yard -- so beautiful. I would love a "tour" of the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ALL TOO ADORABLE!!! That's it! That's all I can say! I would like to live there in that adorable bird village! I love that you've named them! Made my day :)
ReplyDeleteJenna
My Mom would be out of her skull with envy!!!! What a fun and welcoming village you've created for your feathered friends....all of whom have fun names! This is really cute! I know a lot of people enjoy bird watching, but I have never known anyone to go to such great lengths to make sure the birds had a super-sized area specific to their comfort and joy. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow Phyl you really out did your self. I am going to have to come over and see your bird village. How about Beverly Bird Hills after Beverly Hills. I really love your bird area. No wonder I don't have many anymore they are all over at your house.

Dear Phyllis - this is certainly my kind of neighborhood. So beautiful. Bet Tina finds it very interesting as well. Take care and have a great day enjoying the beauty of spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful neighborhood you've created! I love birds and have several birdhouses around our property...they are a joy to watch. I have a special affinity for cardinals and am thrilled when they nest nearby. Thanks for sharing at The Shady Porch Rock N Share! Blessings, D
ReplyDeleteSeems to be Happy bird day on your home !! Love so much your little birds houses. And I love also the little cat cursor !!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be your newest French follower !

What a fun post. Your window view to the garden looks like my living room windows. I have several bird houses on a baker's rack, but I am thinking I need to build a village ( I don't have enough for a town).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration.
Just a few make a wonderful village, just a diner a pub and some homes and you are there...
DeleteHello Phyllis,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you! I have been 'walking' around your lovely house(s!); thanks for the invite! Can I just say that your tablescapes are the sweetest thing?! I especially love the French Country setting; sa magnifique!
Your 'neighBIRDhood'(suggested name for your little bird community)is what brownstones are to NYC (trendy AND traditional!), where bird hopping and bar hopping are not too different! Thanks for all the fun!
Your newest follower (and nouveau bird watcher),

Hi Phyllis,
ReplyDeleteI love all your bird houses and the lovely birds. A beautiful view to see those cuties.
Lynnie
PS why do you have a moving spider on your blog?
Seems they have come in from the garden, and everyone remembers the blog with the spider...he's harmless...just likes to follow cursors around his room...lol
DeleteI love your pictures. All of your houses and restaurants are so inviting. We were fighting with squirrels for a long time, but we finally bought the Squirrel Buster and the birds are now dining with plenty to eat.

ReplyDeleteHi, Phyllis. Just getting around to visiting (I'm a bit late). As a follower, I saw you had a "new" post and boy, am I glad I stopped by! What a beautiful garden you've created, and here I was, enjoying every bit of your story!! Congratulations on the garden tour--can't wait to read all about it! ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever post, Phyllis. I really enjoyed reading about and seeing your Birdhouse neighborhood. I used to have lots of birdhouses and dreamed of making a birdhouse garden. Never got to it. Mine couldn't have been nearly so clever. Congratulation on the garden tour. You have had it by now and I'm sure it was impressive. Love the new lettering too...so cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your home with us from the garden tour. I hope to see your beautiful photos on instagram too! #fullertongardens
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure meeting you! -Tania
It's all too fabulous Phyllis, I would love to tour it in person! I love love love all your bright colors, floral pillows and overflowing pots. It's elegant yet welcoming at the same time. I have seen your potting bench and birdhouse garden before, but I never tire of looking at all your cute touches and details. Thanks for the private tour!
ReplyDeleteJenna
This was the sweetest post. I love the birdhouse city. What a cute place for your birds to live. This brought a smile to me. I can't wait to see your garden tour.
ReplyDeleteKris
