So that's what your avatar is, Rocco!!

I'd tried to figure it out once - but it was way too small to tell for sure. I never would have guessed a big gear!!

For some reason that just didn't come to mind...

Aw spring....doesn't it look good. This frog is NOT alone anymore. Soon they'll be going dormant and I LONG for the spring again. I bought tulips today. A bag of Parrots, Darwins and giant allums. I'll REALLY shock up when they go on sale for 50% off. Later, Love, Lisa
P.S. this evergreen was transplanted in the spring of 03'. It's forever brown now.

I just love a fun angel and this one made me laugh. I waited for it to go and sale and drag'm home. Later, Love, Lisa

I have so much junk, oops, I mean stuff in my garden, it takes me a full day to put it all out every spring. Numerous birdhouses, baths & feeders, lots of little animals that peer out from between the plants, an abstract limestone sculpture, three benches, two gazing balls, decorative pots on pillars, etc. But I just realized that I don't have photos of most of it. I'll have to remedy that. But for now, here are a couple that I do have pics of.

This is the only piece of garden junk...er, ah, art...that I have. In its' previous life, it was a hay feeder. Now, it's an entrance to the 'secret garden' I made for my grandkids (and me!). The idea is to get the New Dawn rose to climb all over it from the left side. By the end of the summer, the virginia creeper had taken over the right, along with the morning glories that grow like weeds around here. I've had my eye on this thing for several years, but couldn't get it in myself. Last spring, my little 8 year old grandson decided that he could help me get it in there, so we hauled the thing out and rolled it up. I measured this way and that, and determined that it would fit. DH finally came out to see what we were doing, and was apparantly shamed in to action at the sight of the blood, sweat and tears surrounding the whole scene. We had a minor problem with communication..(that's the norm around here! He speaks 'farmer', I don't!) and he thought I was trying to LAY IT DOWN on the ground. I didn't know he thought that, so while he was telling me it wouldn't fit, and was trying to push it down, I was trying to hold it up. It finally dawned on me what he was trying to do, and I explained it for the upmteenth time to him. Anyway, it looks pretty cool, even though I never got back to the project this year. The bench in the foreground is no longer. My son-in-law made it for me from old pallets, and it finally fell apart this spring.

Here's a fall pic of the same place. The rose did manage to get started growing up the side this year.

psp, I love it!

Where on earth did you ever find him? Is that a grass you have planted in it? It's perfect for him...Jackie

That's sedge in his head - I have to give him a haircut sometimes.
I've had him for a number of years - and honestly don't remember where I picked him up - I think it was one of the local nurseries - but might have been in Hobby Lobby.
