Spent weeks growing these awesome gourds, dreaming of bluebirds filling my yard. I cleaned them out, drilled perfect holes, and hung them everywhere. I figured the birds would be lining up to move in. Turns out, bluebirds had other plans. They ignored my fancy gourd houses and picked an old metal pole leaning against my shed. That’s where they built their nest—totally not what I expected! Guess you can’t always predict what nature wants. Sometimes, the best thing is to give birds a few options and let them choose. Even if it’s not the spot you planned, it’s still amazing to see them settle in. Gardening is full of surprises, and that’s what makes it so much fun. #gardening #birdwatching #bluebirds #nature #diy
