Sharing my 'Backyard Habitat' sign

[robbobbin]

We live in an old one room school house. If you look close in the picture at the windows down the side-you can see where the windows have been modernized-changing the look significantly-but it still looks like Little House on the Prairie in person.
But what I wanted to share was how my husband posted our Certified Backyard Habitat sign. I think it looks great, you can't miss it when you drive by and the humming birds took maybe an hour to find the feeder. (hard to make out -but hanging on the right side in the picture)
No one has moved into the birdhouse yet-but I didn't expect them to either-so we'll see what happens there next year.
I planted a dwarf boxwood at the base of the post to hide the post some (hope it doesn't get too big) and there is a hosta bed next to the house behind the sign. In front I am planting some irises and perennials.
Thanks for looking.

Yes mam. And it was sooo easy to get. I'd bet anybody, they could qualify. Just a few things required-and mostly just a commitment.
Under $40 (I think it was) shipping and membership plus sign.
Just something to show our support. Our back yard is # 483,000 and some odd number(I can't remember exactly and too lazy to go dig out certificate)-now there are over 500,000...WOW!!

what is it. what is the purpose? is it so the hummingbirds know its ok to eat there? b/c i have hummingbirds stealing nectar from my yard all the time, little punks.

Way to go, Robin! One more thingy we have in common! My sign is in the barn with chicken poop on it. I need to get it out & posted again. We had it out front but the fence decayed so we took it down.

Another thing on my "to do" list...........
