Yes but not until you harvest the farm the year.!!!!! Being a former NYer with plenty of family still there I know you have had a lot of the same weather we have had here, wet, damp and humid, so it will be interesting to see how you fare this year.

We use to have a garden near our creek. We had a on large mailbox nailed to a tree we kept hand tools in. We took an old window awning from the 60s and attached it to boards between 2 trees, and hung our hoes and such under it.

I have started looking for one. If only I had hung on to one when I moved. The chair in the picture is really too nice. I like the old crummy ones the best.

I think it does!


DD and I scour the woods and the rivers for interesting pieces of driftwood and attractive rocks and stones. The rocks go in my rock garden and she sometimes makes interesting stick-in-the-grounds and mobiles with the driftwood from found objects. It's several hobbies in one.


DH is patient about me hauling rocks around from wherever we travel. I imagine that hundreds of years from now an excavation of our backyard would present a pretty puzzle to an archeologist!


For a long time I also had an old rusty milk can she brought me from farm country. Once it got that textured patina it really looked nice with contrasting flowers planted in the top. I have a couple of old family Red Wing crocks I plant in every year.


And I have my eye on an antique wooden chair in the basement but I think it will take some smooth talking to persuade DH it belongs outside. It belonged to his family and he sits there to take off his muddy boots before he comes upstairs.


Down in north Iowa farm country a lot of people use cream separators as planters.

Great garden and those pavers are heavy. You sure have a lot of nice tomatoes.

Thank you. When my hubby got cancer and we were spending a lot of time at the toilets I decided when life gives you S*** mosaic the toilets. Hoping to get to the master bathroom cabinet soon. the other one is my guest bath It was smaller and less visible so thought I would start there and work out mistakes before I go big. LOL

All you need are so old glass, dishes bowls, vase etc. and either E6000 glass adhesive or a silicon adhesive/sealant. You r creativity is the limit.

OH Totems. They are really fun to make. I have many of them around the yard.

And bottle trees too.
