Early the other morning I decided to go for a drive to maybe find some pictures to add to my 'yard art' folder that I planned on doing a post with someday. For once it wasn't raining but it was still to cold to go outside and do anything so I bundled up and headed out. I took a couple of pictures to add to the ones I already had but as I was buzzing by off to my right I thought I saw what I thought I saw . . . (?) so I slammed on the brakes, turned around and went back. Whoa, I surely hit pay dirt here . . . there was a big cement truck, a bunch of guys outside working . . . and yup they were working on what I thought I saw. There was a big section with all kinds of goodies in it. The guys were pouring the cement as a frame for what is going to be this gorgeous work of landscaping with yard art, flowers and I might have even seen what is going to be a pond or a creek going through but I'm not sure at this point.
The guys were busy working but how fortunate for me to catch them outside so I could ask if they would mind if I took pictures and I explained what I was doing it for.
The other thing that had caught my eye before turning around was this brilliant Rhodie just a blooming it's heart out.
The enclosed area was loaded with little creatures.
And some pretty big ones too
Look at the size of this guy next to the fountain, guess he would be life size.
A bunch of pelicans hanging out.
And a great old tractor to add to the decor!
I did get to talk to the lady who came out to say hi. I told her how ironic it was that I headed out to find yard art pictures and was really excited that I happened to be on this road and find them working on this beautiful piece. You'll be happy to know that I also asked her if I could come back later to see how it's coming together and do another post. She graciously said that I could.
One last piece they have sitting by the road as you turn into their driveway - just a little something to get you excited and wonder what you're going to see next.

I love gardens like this. It makes you wonder how many people drive by in a hurry without even realizing so much is going on down there on the ground!
ReplyDeleteI am so curious for your next post about this yard/garden!
ReplyDeleteLots of cool stuff, but my favorite is always anything with rust! I'm dying to see what they do with that old rusty jalopy. Love the old tractor too. How very fortuitous it was that you passed that way!
ReplyDeleteI've been planning a garden art post too.
Oh now that sounds like fun Linda. Good hunting girl. Can't wait to see what they do there.
ReplyDeleteHi RG,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like quite a bit of exciting things are going on in this garden. I love that car, not sure where it fits in but interesting.

Now that is pretty cool! I think the old tractor is my favorite piece of theirs..but that old car is pretty cool. So, I must be with you..I'm at least 2 weeks behind too with some of my specialty bulbs really suffering. I'm turning into a sour puss about it all.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to you next post about yard art..that is a fun theme :)cheers, Jenni
