This and That

This sure is going to be a great weekend to work  play in the garden. At least  according to the weather man.  We had lots of rain the last couple of days,after a very dry August,so the ground is very workable. There are many perennials to trans plant.They have grown to big for my garden, so I am moving them.

I will move the mallow to a new border bed.


I also want to move some wild rosebushes. I keep cutting them back where they are now so I am moving them to new bed where they can grow" the bigger the better". This picture was taken last summer, it's a  lot taller this year.



Now for a little of "that". I want to show you some of my garden decorations.

I made this crane a few years ago.My husbands has a metal fabricating business so I have access to welders. I actually worked for him for a few years 15years ago.So I can weld a little. I wanted to make my sister a special 50th birthday present ,so I had to make one for me too.: )

Everyone  was sells Home Interior candle votives at garage sales for 10 to 25 cents so I bought lots.My husband gave me a coil of copper tubing that he had, so I made some ever blooming tulips.



A garden angel made her appearance last summer from my pile of metal scrape.



 Love blue glass , so of course I have to put in my gardens. The bubbles are drawer pulls.






  A friendly garden spider made from a hay fork  that was in my dad's barn. The body is a metal spring.



Just a couple more pictures. I will have to save the rest for another time ,cause the sun is now shining and I hear my garden calling.






Have a blessed day,  Lynda
