I collect birdhouses now

Both functional (those are mounted in trees and look solid and functional) and decorative.  I imagine festooning a couple of trees with a variety of bright little dangling birdhouses.  And should anyone decide to occupy one of the decorative birdhouses, that's ok too.  Some prefer style over function.I have had a few kicking around that needed some repairs, and I finally got them out and repaired them and had a very creative hour painting on them that was glorious.  I haven't had my paints out in years.Then I announced to HW that he could keep an eye out for cute birdhouses at thrift stores/in the garbage for me, even if they were beat up.  "Oh, you want fixer-upper birdhouses?"
