Recently on a drive around the streets of Kearsarge, I spotted Washington, D.C. and had to stop to take a closer look. After getting permission from the owner, Paul Lehto, who made all the bird houses you see here today, I started snapping away. It's wonderful to provide houses for the birds to nest in, but how fun to make them look like familiar buildings around the country and around town.

After touring our Capitol, I headed on over to Calumet and stopped in at Gately's, Vertin's and the Woolworth store...all familiar storefronts to days gone by in the town. I also made a stop in church to offer a prayer of thanksgiving for the beautiful summer we've been having. Then I headed over for a tour of one of the local mine shaft buildings, so much history surrounding the Keweenaw. All that touring made me hungry, so my last stop of the day was at McDonald's. I wonder if they serve birdseed burgers at this branch?

Thanks to Paul Lehto for the handiwork in making these clever houses, and for the permission to feature them on the Pasty Cam, too!

The man is skillful.

Fun, Mary! You put a smile on my face today!! Thanks for sharing!

Nice bird-cribs!
Did you meet the President?

WOW! What beautiful handiwork! Thanks Mary, for the tour.

Great pics! But I have to ask about the pics yesterday. Where were they taken? If anybody knows Michelle Jeffery or her kids do! My first thought was the Eagle River falls. I've got some amazing memories swimming there! I know I'm on many tourists camcorders as some nut who was braving the cold waters near the "dangerous" falls :-) Oh to be a kid again.

Totally awesome!! Talent blending with imagination and creativity!! Not your average bird houses!! Love these!!

Just one more reason to admire this talented man who
has given so much to our community.

How very interesting. The creator of these wonderful bird houses was a good friend of my husbands in his hockey years. I did not know he possessed such wonderful carpentry talents also.

WOW....so incredible!!!

Happy Birthday JanieT!!!

Goodness gracious, has another year passed already? Happy Birthday, Janie!:)

Thank You Donna & Shirley!!! Yes the years sneak up faster and faster!

These birdhouses would look good on the pages of "Birds and Blooms" magazine. Mary and Paul should submit them.

Happy birthday Miss Janie. I was gone all day and didn't have a chance to write to you. Went shopping with my best bud, Judy. Even hit Goodwill for some goodies. She helped me with my new printer but it's spooked just all my electronics! Grrrrr! Boy it's nice to come to a welcoming cat. Got my second tomatoe off my very own bush. Yummmmmm.

Kay, Thank you! The weather we have been treated with lately get out and enjoy it is the rule! I sure have been!
