Accessorizing the Garden

 Sun Wind Spinner
 Hummingbird wind spinner
 New bird house
Tea Time 
 Sir Winston
Queen Lizzie likes the picnic table - she can keep her distance from Winston! 
 I love these rattan containers that I found at Aldi's for $40.  They serve as seats also, and on Amazon the same product was $100
 Butterfly wind chime - love hearing chimes outside, and this one is quiet but has a lovely sound
A bunny visit as the sun was going down.  He saw Lizzie and didn't stay long - but I was delighted to see him.  I also saw a scissor tail, a finch, lightening bugs, and a red headed woodpecker.  It was a wonderful day to spend outside in perfect spring weather.

Williamsburg Bird Bottle and Texas Mosquitos

Image
I have had this bird bottle for many years now, and in all of the moves and places we have lived - never once hung it up.  I lived in Williamsburg, Virginia for one year when I was 20, and I loved the Colonial area, and walking through the Governor's Palace Gardens. I bought the bottle on a return trip when as a family we traveled there to show our girls where we had once lived.  And for them to experience Jamestown, and Colonial Williamsburg. I do not know why I have moved it to so many places and never hung it in a garden.  Or under the eaves of the house.

Relaxing: Porch Rocking Chairs, Hard Apple Cider and Fire Pit Flames on a Crisp Spring Evening

 I found these two rocking chairs while shopping at Aldi's.  Only $25 each.  After looking around and online - I thought this was a great price for porch rocking and relaxing.    I also found a terrific deal on Amazon for a $65 Fire pit.  Assembly was required - but it wasn't too bad, and thankfully everything was included that was needed for the assembly.  This fire pit came with some great accessories - even a plastic cover for bad weather.   A fire on a crisp Spring night with a crisp apple cider in hand.  Enjoying this from my new rocking chair.  I did realize though that, I will have to put down some kind of stone circle of pavers or a gravel pit somewhere for the fire pit, for safety concerns.  That still needs to be done.   We are going to have a lot of fun with this - roasted marshmallows, smores. and hot dogs coming up!

Backyard Beginnings

Places to sit and reflect I'm so proud that this she shed has found a home and will become a space for me to create! Picnic area.  We love picnics in our family.   The Mission Fig tree transplant.  I am hoping that it lives! I would love to have an area like this to the left of the studio.  This would be into the future  But I really like Adirondack chairs and fire pits.  A place to chill and relax with friends would be really nice.
