Next came my purchase of a couple of patio umbrellas. This red one was the favorite, and right away found a home in front of Chris's workshop.
I've always loved wildflowers. Dolly Parton's song called "Wildflowers", has a line that goes like this - ..WILD FLOWERS DON'T CARE WHERE THEY GROW... (I have a link to the song on this blog - so have a listen). I've always thought of myself as a wild flower; I'll put my roots anywhere. This blog is mostly about my "wild" garden, our pond, the birds and insects that visit, it`s about our animals, and our home projects.

Lavender and Ludicrous
Saturday morning started pretty much like most others... garage sales! There were 3 of them, and I did very well. My first find was Tuki, a Polynesian statue (on the left), not to be confused with Jake.
Next came my purchase of a couple of patio umbrellas. This red one was the favorite, and right away found a home in front of Chris's workshop.
Other finds were a cool fish chime, an ornamental olive oil can from Nice, and a cedar chest that we will use to store kindling.
My next event for the day was staining some landscape ties. I did a dreadful job and picked the wrong stain color.
But once it dried I thought it might be a good contrast to the yellow spartium, the lavender and the purple cone flowers.
The lavender against the crazy funky shack is now accented by the purple/cherry ties. It is quite ludicrous really if you are right in front of all this.
