Here are old house corbels resting on a garden table in a quiet part of the garden. Imperfect fragments taking on the look of ancient ruins scattered amongst the greenery...
Galvanized tubs and buckets at the ready. To collect leaves and weeds, carry water, and stand in as "make do" flower pots.
A worn wood column top supporting a faux cement pot.. really, it's a cheap, tattered foam fake.
Tri-color Japanese painted ferns spreading ever-so-slowly along the edges of all the backyard flower beds.
What a strange and funny little plant this is! Oh, it's an upright shopping cart, bucket bush.
Gray, whether cement, stone, galvanized metal, or wire GLOWS at night adding twilight interest and sparkle!
Oh how neat!
ReplyDeleteI love all of those galvanized buckets on the fence!!
ReplyDeleteJoan your garden looks like a great place! Love the Grays!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with the buckets. Creative and unique. Thanks for sharing your photos with us. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteYou're a girl after my own heart. If I had a yard/garden nearly as nice as yours...those are exactly the kind of things I would love in it!!
ReplyDeleteI like your fern...I haven't had any luck, Buffalo, NY guest the weather is just too darn cold for winter survival. Happy OW.
ReplyDeleteI love the buckets on display too.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were taking us to THE Grau gardens, Big and Little Edie, relatives of Jackie Kennedy! That house is in a nearby town..
ReplyDeleteI like yours better..the washtubs are so interesting! Great pics!

ReplyDeleteFun idea with the galvanized tubs hanging on the fence. . .I have been collecting some too but hadn't really thought of anything very clever to do with them other than flower pots!

ReplyDeleteWonderfully different! Who would have thought of grey. I had no idea is glows at night. I loved your bucket on the fence.
ReplyDeleteHey Girlie, you're right about everything. Yes Walnut is this weekend, and you have to read my latest blog, right after I got done writing it, crying my eyes out, the owner of the house called, I had been crying so hard, I couldn't hardly speak. I thought it was a tele-marketer. I never would have answered otherwise!I don't know what he'll decide, but the ball's in his court. And I've got to move ahead...
