Special Garden Effects... With JUNK

My garden is never done. EEEEEVER. So it should come as no surprise that I'd much rather raise my nose at the mess as I walk by, on my way for another much more FUN bike ride instead.
But one particular day, while overwhelmed with all the chaos of the weeds and such, I plunked my sorry self down on the lawn, pretended I was on a bike ride instead, and started pulling weeds.
One. At. A. Time.
Suddenly, it was like the power flicked on. I was racing for other junk in my yard... a picket fence chunk, beat up old metal bucket, birdhouses, and even my garden edger... woa.... who am I?
What was once a sorry mess, turned into one of the nicest features in my yard to date!
Just don't turn around... yet. :)
