TREASURES, TREASURES,TREASURES!

I had an amazing day yesterday.
It was a perfect ending to my week of vacation.
The "Garden Tour" went off without a hitch.
Got some wonderful responses.

When it was all over Susan and I headed across the
ally for an estate auction that was going on
in the neighborhood.
Check out my treasures.

I'm loving these vintage garden trowels.

My mind is just whirling with what I might do
with these dove decoys.
I picked up the saw horses too.

I've already found a home for my
small, metal, child's chair.

I spent a little over $50.
Not bad for an afternoon of
sheer delight.

IT'S SHOW TIME!

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and
step into my world.

SUNDAY SURPRISES! 2

Last Sunday started as a really good day

as most Sundays do.

Susan and I took our regular morning walk and kicked

around some beautiful Fall leaves.

When we got home we enjoyed our steaming hot coffee and egg biscuits.

I decided to get out into the garden and tidy up a bit.

Many of my plants were well past their prime,

so into the composter they went.

My sweet neighbor, Anna, who is in her late eighties or early nineties,

called me over to her back door to chat.

She was so kind to offer me her late sister's gardening clogs.

Anna knows how much I love to play in the garden as her sister Sarah once did.

I couldn't have been more delighted...

they were a perfect fit.

Later in the day another friend stopped by with a second surprise for me.

I was awarded "Yard of the Month"

from our Tree Street Neighborhood Association.

Tell me, how great is that???

I believe I owe it to my Fall project, the scarecrows

I constructed out of things I found in the

basement, garden, and gardening shed.

It was a TOTALLY FUN project.

You can read about it here.

Happy, happy gardening.
