I've been spending most of my spare time working on the landscaping of the house I just moved into. It's been more of a challenge than I anticipated!Apparently an extremely large tree used to stand majestically in this spot in the backyard for many decades. By the size of the remaining stump, it must have been massive. I could see that there was no way to get equipment in to remove the stump so I incorporated it into a perennial garden! You can see that I even used the stump to display my newest acquisition, an old ventilator from some farm building. I really wanted a cool cupola off a barn but this rusty piece will work fine for garden art!
I hauled these three deer with me from Colorado and they seem right at home among the hostas! They're not just for Christmas decorating anymore! They actually light up and I thought it would be fun to have them twinkling out there under the tree. Kind of like those lightning bugs that come out after dark!
I've got a lot of outdoor projects that need attention! And I still need to get things in order inside the house, too. I had to do some major downsizing moving from a 3 bedroom house with a large 2-car garage to a 1 bedroom place with 1-car garage! That was the hard part. So I had a garage sale, closed my eyes, and let a lot of my favorite things go. But, I'm doing OK with it. Sometimes change is a good thing! We could all use a little less STUFF!!
