Windows, Toilets and Giraffes...
OH MY!


What a beautiful day 
here in my little corner of Georgia. 
Today we worked outside preparing the garden for future planting. 
We cleaned the dead leaves 
from several clematis vines, 
and 
cleaned the KOI pond. 

I do believe the fish were glad to see us!

They eat very little during the winter 
and 
look like little floating statues 
as they sit in the icy water.
So today after their pond was sparkling,
they had a feast of pellets and bread.
 Old bread is their favorite treat.
The waterfall on our pond...it still needs a little work.
 
While readying a shelf for my resale booth,
I took a rest 
and 
admired my stained glass window. 

It hangs on the end of my porch 
and 
some days the sun shines 
through in such a beautiful way. 

I bought the window from my friend, Randy. 
He goes to auctions and sales 
and 
has a barn full of treasures. 

Just walking in the door to that barn 
brings tears to my eyes. 

Sometimes he calls 
and 
invites me to barn shop,
and 
off I go. 


Do you need a really good laugh?
 
Are we classy folks or what? 

One of my garden benches...
all rusty, swirly and made of iron. 
I love it!

The toilet is not usually there, 
and 
no, it is not now a planter in my garden. 

Bill placed it there a few months ago
as he repaired it, 
and 
it caught my eye as a funny shot. 
Just ran across it again in my pictures.

It is hilarious to me! 

It always cracks me up to see a toilet sitting by the road for pick up, 
and 
on a bench was even funnier.

This one is back in it's original spot, 
but 
it sure was funny on that bench!


Well, how about some giraffes...
these will be after your heart!

Just for fun the classes that I had on Valentines Day created giraffes with heart faces. 

We did a play on words and instead of...
You're After My Heart, 
we said ...
Giraffe-ter My Heart. 

There were some scary ones!

Some kissy lip ones...


And some cute ones, that were later all colored with fabulous colors.



 Wish me luck tomorrow...

I found these on craigslist 
and 
I am going to get them tomorrow! 

Will probably take two trips...I am being a bit greedy.

They are FREE!!

My plans are to close in an old shed with some of them and 
use the rest for my resale booth...
did I say they are  
FREE?!

WooHOOOOOOOooooOOOOO!!!


     Sorry to be all over the place with this post, 
but ya know me...random and rambling. 

Have the most blessed Sunday...
