Pass through the french doors and front garden and the next door takes you through the conifer garden into the back gardens and ponds.

The purple toilet is actually a soft mauve from Kohler - it's about 15 years old but I hated to send it to the dump, so a focal point it became. I will find a picture for today but I may need to start on the inside of the house.

Bernice H yup, your purses & my trellises are special and colorful. Terrie Kaufman has a few bright colors and a lovely yard and I love the gazelle.

AND Terrie, you can post your pics under multiple headings, they are so cool, most everyone would be interested in them and enjoy them.And I gather from NWCN news you have started your rainy-ier season as has Seattle etc. We are getting gray...maybe a little rain. but....hello winter. Hello snow on the passes. Bummer for me, but for skiiers...I guess hooray. But we (I) get stuck here in Yakima. Every way out except to Tricites involves a mountain pass.

Thanks Leida.......it is fun to create something not expected. Poor husband has to live with my need of creating, it may be his downfall. <grin>

Terrie Kaufman, I think u r wrong. I'm pretty sure that deep down ur hubby does like them. Probably not as he is doing them, but when they r all done, I'm sure he sits back, sighs, and truly enjoys them.

Terrie Kaufman AT least he knows you are not a boring person! I read or heard this the other day, "only the bored are boring". I love it! Dont remember who said it, maybe Meryl Streep?

I really do need to learn how to use this site as I keep missing things. But, somehow there needs to be a comment about the people, their ideas and the sharing. I am so thrilled to be here and it's kind of like a craft and decorating magazine with real people to ask questions of. Wow, someone had a great idea. Thanks Hometalk!
