Bowl to Birdbath

At a yard sale a couple of weeks ago, I bought a very large bowl and stand.  I did not plan to use it like this.  I had other ideas.

That same day, I also bought two plant stands.  They were slightly different sizes and I just knew one of them would work for what I had in mind...

A birdbath!

Hey! That geranium on the left is not dead.  It looks nothing like it appears in this photo!

I can't feel completely smug about making a purely decorative piece useful.  Since we have cats, we don't actually want to lure unsuspecting little birdies to their death.  So I keep emptying the rainwater onto my flowers.  As dry as it's been, I really haven't had to do that very often so far.
