Garden Spider''s Yearly Visit

This lovely creature was waiting for me by the back door when I got home the other day. This is the third year in a row it has visited. It stays for a couple days then disappears.. I would just like to know where it is the other days of the year!

Strawberry Shortcake Anyone?

I have been an admirer of those glass garden totems for a while. Basically you take old glassware, dishes, pottery, etc. Glue them together and put them in the garden. They can be beautiful. I have been collecting glass over the summer, but hadn't had enough courage to put one together. With my husband home over the weekend, we decided to give it a try by working on a "joke" totem for a friend. Mistakes and flaws would be ok.   My hubbie and his friend have a running joke about Strawberry Shortcake and they are sending gag gifts both ways.  So we decided to make a Strawberry Shortcake totem. What do you think?

Hydrangeas

So beautiful, taken at a neighbor of my dad's in Indiana while visiting this past weekend. I have tried growing them but had no luck. After this inspiration I may try again!

Garage Sales and Gardens

We ventured out this morning in search of yard sales. We happened upon this sale and while there we noticed the outstanding garden. Pat, our new friend, graciously allowed Fuzzy to take pictures for your inspiration as well as ours. First a picture to prove it acutally was a garage sale, note the boxes in the corner with merchandise....Now enjoy the garden tour!
