doesn't light up anymore...but still worthy. pot in front is hard to see, but it has a tiny
rose in it..got it 4 years ago for mother's day.

motorcycle spinner...

So here is a few things that kept me busy for the past month...

this lights up at night time.. those are suppose to be lightening bugs in the jar.. we had them back East.. a lot...don't know why we don't have them here.. the temps run the same...

These are Hawiann shirt lights...

spinners...

Our new gate between the garage and house... see the signs...can you read them? One

was a gift for our wedding.. 13 years ago.. and the one on the right, the King made for

me.. when I told him what I wanted it to say.

this is the fishing side of the deck... screen door art $2 at yard sale.. picture of fish $5 at yard sale

little signs 50 cents.

this is the farm side... barn art $ 4 and hobby horse $2 at yard sales... sign $1

This little girl I found at a yard sale for $1... she was stone color, and the King painted her for me. Dog was purchase from old K-mart store long ago..

driftwood garden and yard art...scarecrow 50 cents. globe 50 cents, trucks 25 each.

stacked these cinder blocks and the King used them for beans, peas, and sun flowers

Misty hiding among the plants...

50 cent signs from yard sales... one says.."Gardners know all the dirt" and Welcome

to our garden

Black berries are doing well this year..

Clematis is doing well... near the flag is a white one.. in 3 years it should be doing

as well as the purple one is..

Took these cinder blocks and made a wall planters out of them...

We have the pergola doing well, it has lights and spinners with a plant at each

corner. The King out did himself in these planters this year.

Duck family at the bottom of the tree.. yard sale... $5

I like the Dusty Millers, they always seem so nice, and do well with the reds here.

cat, wooden shoes, and turle ... all gotten from the yards sales... Cost average $2. each

Early spring, i thought I had killed this clematis... it is old. have had it for 12 years.

and I had cut it back waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much... but it bounced back. The lighter

purple flowers have gotten up to about 9 inches. This year I think it average 6"
