Bringing the inside, out

Recently I decided to close down my booth at the local Antique Mall so

 I had to find some new uses for the things that I had to drag back home... my house is bursting at the seams now... I don't have room for anymore stuff... I had to start thinking "outside" the house box...

If I see wrought iron, I just can't help myself , it follows me home...

who said they had to be used for plates...

Granny J had a really good suggestion...
 put in a pot and put another pot in one of the rings... love that idea

once a candle holder...

handmade bird feeder, now my birds will stop squacking at me,

this should last them awhile...

and while you have the paint brush out why not procrastinate doing what you went out for...

 more thrifted stuff out of my basement

with their bellies full they needed to have a nice place to rest...

 close up... 

 added the knob, bird and attached it to a pitchfork

added a little bling

or perhaps a double decker... 

and if they prefer the country look... 

 

a double ended house...  the front door

 the back door...

birds are so smart, they actually fill in the back door so another bird can't use it

after I finished playing, I dragged this out and decided to clean my eaves...  

another job off my list

time to find you a new home...

 a trellis for my honeysuckle... okay that works

another thing out of my garage

what else are you supposed to do with a flying pig,

Walmart isn't the only one with a greeter...

this is the dreaded job I intended to do... 

 if I could just find a really tall plate stand to hold this all up I wouldn't have to thin it out...

yeap you guessed it... it's still on the list

Hope you are all having a glorious week... thanks for stopping by

Hugs,

Welcome to my garden...

This is all I did this weekend... and seeing we had a long weekend it gave me another day to garden pull grass and a million weeds, oh lucky me... I have to go back to work for a rest.  There is something to be said about sitting behind a desk...

Grab your coffee it is a bit long...  

I would like to give you the grand tour of my gardens before I pick the hill to die on. 

Now if you are inclined to love gardening and you would like to visit and stay a spell...

I have a beautiful guest room for you to stay.

this is the suicide hill... this is on the right side of my driveway...

it is a killer and attacks the back of the legs... after the fifth trip up you are ready for traction... 

yes I carried everyone of those rocks up there too... I was on mission a couple of years ago... like Rose that curb shops for junk,  I rock shop... it doesn't matter where I find a large rock it is coming home with me... there isn't a rock safe within miles of me...

now come on up to the entrance of the yard...

at the top of the stairs, watch your step...

following down the yellow brick road...

just to the right, we have the monster clamatis, periwinkle

and other stuff that I don't know the name of...

up a little further...

giant hostas (it's only May and they are already huge) and ladder with antique tools, that I still use...

the claw if my fav tool, makes an awesome back scratcher.

a little further... wagon wheel that still has the Christmas lights on from 3 years ago...

I hate doing things twice... lol

to your left... the hosta garden and old wagon that I dragged home from somewhere...

check out the nice clean edge there... and no nasty grass lurking in there yet...

and a antique sickle hiding in the hostas... my garden is full of old tools of the working kind

across from the hosta garden... pretty peonies... I wish they would last longer... so pretty

 

Kermit wants in the act too and says hello...

 

another antique garden tool... some more periwinkle...

I love that stuff I don't have to cut it down, it takes care of itself.

you know you are a redneck when...

I hit a stubborn root and it attacked my pitch fork...

that was my favourite one too...

Mr. D. decided to give it a proper burial... lol

I had big plans for Mr. D. this weekend... yesterday he was to take three of those nasty evergreen balls out of there... well one is down , dragged up the hill and burnt... it was quite warm, so he decided that maybe we should quit for the day... he forgot to tell me there was a ball game.

whacking head with a brick...hmmm empty space, so I decided to start another garden this morning... I stole plants and rocks from all over don't look too close, a few may be missing from your property... hopefully they will live, they are looking a little wilted...  this side is going to have to wait to be polished until my body recovers.

now if you are thirsty from all that looking... here is a spot reserved just for you...

I will be right out with a nice cold beer Iced Tea.

I won't torture you with the backyard, I will save that for another day...

I think at this point the only thing I want to plant is a For Sale sign on the front lawn...

Hope you enjoyed the tour...

Have a great day... thanks for stopping by...

I think I will grab an iced tea and enjoy the sunshine... until I spot another patch of weeds.

Hugs,
