Demo Treasure!

My daughter and I went to a couple sales last week. We went into the garage (One of my favorite places to shop!) and I spotted a shelf in the corner made with 3 old posts. It was marked 10 dollars and was 50% off! Of course, I had to have it! I was told that if I wanted it I had to remove it from the wall. A man had purchased a vice that was attached and wanted the shelf too but couldn't get it off.

My daughter backed away and said "You should never say that to my Mom!" The only tools left were a couple small hammers so I grabbed them both and started working. Another worker came and watched.

As you can tell, I got it loose! The second worker carried it to the car for me and when I thanked him he said it was worth it to watch me remove it! The other worker said she couldn't wait to see the man that tried to remove it earlier and tell him about it.

I was going to tear it apart but Laurie suggested I try it in the garden all together first. I dug around in the shed and basement to come up with some 'stuff' to put on it. I'm lovin' it! How about you?

Sorry about Bloomin' Tuesday this week! It was a busy weekend and I just didn't get to it. It will be back next week.

A Walk in the Park!

Now that Jerzie is out of preschool we have more time for fun. Monday we took a walk in our local park. We have talked about all the garbage along the trail by the creek so I took a garbage bag, Jerzie put on her gardening gloves and she picked up trash. Payton picked up a little but was more interested in exploring. There wasn't too much this early in the season but she didn't give up until we got to the play ground.

It's Bloomin' Tuesday!

A Pile of Junk!

I bought an old weathered 1 wheel cart at a household sale for about $3.50. By the time I got it into and out of the car I had a pile of junk! I worked on it for a few hours and ..this is what I ended up with!

I love it and hope to get some old weathered wood to rebuild it the right way but this will do for now.

It's Bloomin' Tuesday!

Welcome!

Today I'm going to show you my side garden. This garden is to the right of my house, the walkway is to the beauty shop. Now that the Lupines and Bachelor Buttons are

done I have lots of yellow.

I dug things out of this garden last year and love finding blooms I forgot I planted like this Globeflower, Golden Queen.

It has an orange tint and shows up well against the Yellow Loosestrife,

I discovered this Gallery Red Lupine on the far side of the garden, next to my neighbors driveway. The pink behind it is a volunteer foxglove.
This shot is looking done from the top of the garden. The white flowers are Beard Tongue, Husker Red. The stems are reddish and the blooms are really a very light pink inside. A friend gave me money years ago when my Grandmother died and told me to by a plant. I got this because my Grandma loved red and the my friend loved white flowers.
Some of the Beard Tongue decided to move to the bottom of the garden with daisies and yellow Sundrops.

I found this Dianthus, Heart Attack last year. I love the color! The pink you see in this picture is from a Cranesbill Geranium that has spread here and there throughout this wild garden.




This shot is the true color.

As you can see I love color! In my mind there is no clashing in the garden. If you'd like to show me your colors, just add your name and permalink to Mr Linky and add link on your blog to this post. We'd love to see what's bloomin' this week where you are.
