I'm not a gardener, although I love plants. My husband does it all. He mows and edges, cleans out the beds, and goes to the nursery and plants new things. He invites me to tag along for input once in a while ~ but mostly he has it figured out.
I was outside waiting for the "gate guy" to come fix the electric gate that goes across the driveway, and snapped a few pix. (I have my digital camera set so it makes a "shutter" sound - how about you?)
I wanted to show you what I got Hubby for Father's Day
Just what he wanted ~ ANOTHER FROG for the pond!
But this one was really old, heavy cement, and was already drilled to be a fountain.
I found it at the local flea market and said
"how much? I'll take it"

We enjoy our little courtyard ~ lots of wildlife to see year round
doves, sparrows, finch, hummingbirds, dragonflies, bees
hawks, egrets, and the occasional evidence of a raccoon
Imagine a square. On the left side is the driveway.
At the top of the square is the fence the separates the courtyard
from the front grass.
To the right is the gate and long porch that leads to our front door
(Not sure why that picture is crooked /~")
We keep the gate locked, which means you can't get to our doorbell.
This is what people have to ring ~ and they DO!
And the bottom of the square is the porch that leads to the kitchen door.
It's a little square of happiness, complete with it's own eco-system
for our entertainment
P.S. I bought some folding, chippy chairs at the flea market
and they SOLD in one week
Counting My Blessings,
