Pond Renovation

Photos of a pond we just rebuilt. The water hasn't had a chance to clear up yet, and it still needs aquatic plants. I'll post more photos on this later.

How to Paint Vintage Metal Chairs

I have had these chairs for years. They were old when I got them! I have painted them several times, but the paint just chips right off. This time, I took all of the right steps to make that paint hold on tight!

  • An old ironing board that I recently painted white makes a great out door vignette on the patio.
  • I plan to drill a small hole in the ironing board top to slip the hanger wire through so it won't blow off.
  • I used a laundry basket shaped container for the Rose Star Calibrachoa.

Pressing Garden Matters

An Unexpected Surprise

After we take our holiday tree down, we set it outside for all the critters that come to visit our yard. When we went to take it down a few days ago, we found a mama bird sitting on her nest. I got my first shot of her today---can't wait until there are some peeping babies!

Project We Did to Cover the Tree Roots in Our Yard.

Old tires we cleaned and painted, old tricycle painted, an old pot painted. It was hard mowing the grass with so many tree roots right there. A little work and it's beautiful.

    I love this...particularly the irregular shape...now you don't have to worry about keeping it ...»
    straight as the kids knock them about! HA! We too have a root problem. I have large pine islands that we put in to use as a place to rake leaves into! We got tired of raking and then hauling them off. Now all we do is blow them into the pine islands.
