Bluebird of Happiness


Yesterday seemed to me to be a good day to transform my $7 black plastic bird from Walmart into our very own Bluebird of Happiness. This little piece of art is now charged with guarding our flower gardens and making everyone who passes by on the sidewalk smile.

The mythology of the Bluebird of Happiness has deep roots that go back thousands of years. Indigenous cultures across the globe hold similar myths and beliefs about the bluebird. It is a widely accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, new births and the renewal of life.

Welcome to our gardens little fella!

It looks really good.

I thought I was the only one who bought stuff and then painted it.
