A very cropped image of this little House wren that stopped for a minute on the fence. It was so fast that I couldn't change my settings. (Best in large)
The house wren ( Troglodytes aedon) is a very small songbird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range and it is the single most common wren.
Wilton House is an English country house at Wilton near Salisbury in Wiltshire, which has been the country seat of the Earls of Pembroke for over 400 years.
The first recorded building on the site of Wilton House was a priory founded by King Egbert circa 871. Through the munificence of King Alfred, the priory was granted lands and manors until it became wealthy and powerful. However, by the time Wilton Abbey was dissolved in the Dissolution of the Monasteries set in motion by King Henry VIII, its prosperity was already on the wane. Following the seizure of the abbey, Henry presented it and its attached estates to William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (in the 1551 creation) c. 1544.
The present Grade I listed house is the result of rebuilding after a 1647 fire, although a small section of the house built for William Herbert survives; alterations were made in the early 19th and early 20th centuries. The house stands in gardens and a park which are also Grade I listed. While still a family home, the house and grounds are usually open to visitors during the summer months.

Note the white hair on her crown and breast. This appears to be a juvenile transitioning to adult plumage.
We started painting the house the beginning of July and while we still had the deck to paint, a month later the house was finished so there was no more ladder work! We started with a rainbow and ended a month later with a rainbow! 21 gallons of paint down with another 7 remaining to paint the deck!
My Little House
by J. M. Westrup
I have a little house
With windows and a door,
Two chimneys on the top,
And a plot of grass before.
I have a little house,
With curtains and a blind,
Two chimneys on the top,
And a plot of grass behind.
I have a little house,
Where I go in and out,
Two chimneys on the top,
And a garden all about.
It was a fine house with a wide porch on which to sit and survey the land. The fence once marked the edge of the yard but has no purpose now.
Happy Fence Friday!

Thank you everyone for the views, invites, awards, comments and faves. Have a wonderful week.
The St. Anthony Church, Cabo De Rama, Goa, India and is called ‘San Antonio Igreja em Cabo De Rama, Goa’ in Portuguese. The Cabo church was originally founded in 1591 as the Chapel of Cabo de Rama.
Originally I thought this was a boat house because it looks like it is in the water. It has a chimney and windows though. It is constructed of wood and metal. The door seems to be too big for a house and too small for a boat. There are two buckets hanging on either side of the door. It couldn’t be a barn because you would have to take the animals through the water to get them inside. I’m stumped!
I have to find a picture of something that I can identify. There are just no write ups on these old buildings.
I drive by this old house from the 1930's just about every week and have always wondered about the hands that built it with love to have it still standing after all these years. The land has changed owners about 6 times and I can only hope it stays standing and no one tears it down. Now when I see it I can't help but hear this song by Justin Moore. I know you won't listen to the song because I don't have any country fans so I'll just add some of the lyrics that inspired the title.
🎵There was dirt on daddy’s clothes
From putting that bacon on mama’s stove
Dog barking in the yard at a truck we don’t know
All we had was us
And had a little bitty house and a lotta love
We had it all when we didn’t have much🎵
I went out walking and spotted three house finches enjoying the testy snacks on this tree. This is the time of year that I always have to keep an eye on these trees, as once the birds start hitting it (cedar waxwings scrub jays and house finches primarily), they don't last long!
A plain brown bird with an effervescent voice, the House Wren is a common backyard bird over nearly the entire Western Hemisphere. Listen for its rush-and-jumble song in summer and you’ll find this species zipping through shrubs and low tree branches, snatching at insects. House Wrens will gladly use nestboxes, or you may find their twig-filled nests in old cans, boots, or boxes lying around in your garage.
