This small flower bed at the pond was where we had a burn pile for 3 years. Can't wait to see how these plants like it there.

I am a collector of used bricks.
This is the table John and I made from scratch. One morning it was a log, that afternoon it was a picnic table. The table is to heavy to try and move to mow.
One afternoon while John was in the fields I decided to do this. I need one more brick to finish and I am sure I can find one somewhere laying around.

I had John create this giant spider. It is child friendly and someday will have rock or something underneath to keep the weeds and grass down.

This is one of my favorites. A sweet little lady by the name of "Cleo Bosewell" let me take cuttings from her plant. She remembered her mother bringing a start from her grandmothers rose to their new home when she was 5 years old, she is now 97. I don't have the name to any of my roses..
