The frame is a wire planter that I turned upside down and attached the chains at the bottom. I used wire to attach the mason jars and insulator. The lea lights are citronella, so they help keep the mosquitoes away!
I was inspired by these:

Taken at the Calendonia abandonment. The story behind this house is the owner is in a mental hospital and the family, from Hamilton, do not want to get rid of the property for some reason. Sad in a way because this gigantic house is being reclaimed by nature. It is like walking back in time with some of the "things" that are left behind. The magazine below was dated 1962. This house won't be safe for much longer and fellow photographers, it is guarded by the lumber yard beside the house.
Mason Jar Cozy made with left over blocks of lots and lots of birds quilt and precious small scraps.
One of my favorite spots to stop for a while, and listen to the water. Unfortunately, the highway on the other side interferes with any reverie.

Red Mason Bee (Osmia bicornis) nesting activity has completed in my garden "bee-hotel", but I'm pleased to see that an Osmia leaiana female is now nest building.
Osmia leaiana bees are smaller than Osmia bicornis. The females also have a brightish orange "moustache" and orange hairs on their mandibles. There is also a dense scopa of orange, pollen-collecting hairs on the underside of the abdomen.
Osmia leaiana also differ from Osmia bicornis in that they use chewed leaves for nest construction rather than mud. This female has just completed a chewed-leaf partition just behind her and is about to start provisioning the final brood cell in this particular nest. A hard-working and rather attractive little bee!

Shirley Mason (1901-1979) was an American actress of the silent era. She was a sister of Viola Dana. She made her film debut at the age of 10. Between 1910 and 1929, she made more than 110 films.
Shirley Mason was born Leonie Flugrath in Brooklyn, New York, to Emil and Mary (née Dubois) Flugrath. Her father was a printer. She and her two sisters, Edna and Virginia, became actresses at the insistence of their mother. Emil helped out with the process by building his daughters a gymnasium for them to work out and 'train' in. Mason and her sister, Virginia (Viola Dana), made their film debuts at the ages of 10 and 13, respectively, in the film A Christmas Carol (J. Searle Dawley, 1910) for Edison. The film runs 13 minutes and is one of the earliest film adaptations of Charles Dickens' famous 1843 novella. It featured Marc McDermott as Ebenezer Scrooge and Charles S. Ogle as Bob Cratchit. Shirley and Viola appeared as the daughters of Bob Cratchit in the final scene. Mason's next film was The Threshold of Life (Director unknown, 1911) with Mary Fuller. She appeared with her sister Edna in the short, Uncle Mun and the Minister (C.J. Williams, 1912), and appeared with Viola in Children Who Labor (Ashley Miller, 1912) and The Portrait in the Attic (John H. Collins, 1915). As a child actress, Mason was not in high demand. It was not until 1915 that she played the role of the young Becky Sharpe in Vanity Fair (Eugene Nowland, Charles Brabin, 1915). She acted for Edison Studios in 1916, starring in The Littlest Magdalene (Burton George, 1916). In 1917, her career saw a major advance as she was cast in 13 films that year alone, and was given the title role in the film The Awakening of Ruth (Edward H. Griffith, 1917). One of her most well-known roles was as Eve Leslie in the Seven Deadly Sins series (Theodore Marston, Richard Ridgely, 1917). Jessica Keaton at Silence is Platinum: "It started with Envy, then Pride, Greed, Sloth, Passion, Wrath, and finally The Seventh Sin. The last instalment should have been 'Gluttony' but the term was deemed too offensive by the producers, so the title was changed. The same goes for Passion as 'Lust' was considered offensive as well." Mason continued a vibrant acting career through the 1920s, landing substantial parts in films such as Love's Harvest (Howard M. Mitchell, 1920), The Lamplighter (Howard M. Mitchell, 1921), and Very Truly Yours (Harry Beaumont, 1922). In 1929, she appeared in her final role in The Flying Marine (Albert S. Rogell, 1929), along with Ben Lyon and her sister Viola Dana.
The Flugrath sisters were a talented trio, and all three graced the cinema with their silent films. Edna Flugrath was the eldest daughter, born in 1893, and was the only sister to maintain her original name upon entering the film business. Virginia, who later changed her name to Viola Dana, was born in 1897, followed by the youngest, Leonie, who one day became Shirley Mason. The mother of the Flugrath sisters was the one who first dreamed of their stage careers and, at a very young age, had them enrolled in dance classes. The sisters spent much of their childhood touring with companies at Coney Island, Elks Clubs, and other venues. Eventually, their mother's efforts paid off; all three sisters were hired by Edison Studios. Viola met her husband, John Collins, at Edison, and the young director and actress became a successful husband-wife team. Edna also met her future husband, Harold Shaw, at the Edison Studios, and when he went to the UK in 1913 to direct at the London Film Company. Edna accompanied him; however, they did not marry until 1917 when they were producing films in South Africa. Shirley had appeared in several films and had met her future husband, Bernard Durning. Durning was a fellow actor and also director, and although eight years her senior, the two were married in 1917 when Mason was only 16 years old. Mason and Durning enjoyed a very happy marriage, with his directing films back East, and Shirley acting in them. All was well until 1923, when Bernard Durning reportedly drank some tainted water while working on a film in Brooklyn and got typhoid fever. He died, leaving 22-year-old Shirley a widow. Mason was remarried once more in 1927 to director Sidney Lanfield. The two remained married until Lanfield died of a heart attack in 1972. In 1979, Shirley Mason died of cancer in Los Angeles. She was interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park. Like her sisters, she never had children.
