Thanks, mb! Yes we have a camera with a stick-thingie. And I actually know where it goes! But after that is where I get muddled. Where to "store" or keep pictures, how to post to forum, etc. I confess to being less than thrilled with a "middle-person" like snapfish or photobucket, but that's just me. One too many bad husbands makes Jill a skittish girl   .Hope you have/had a good day at work. And stop hogging all the rain !!!

Quote: Originally posted by mbvirtue As promised, here I am! Those glass spheres are gorgeous, where'd you get them? My husband grew up in in Paris, so he'd love the Fleur-de-Lis (sp?). I've been so wrapped up these past three springs just trying to keep up with seven garden themes, there's been no budget, time, or energy left to even shop for garden decorations. (not counting the fruit trees, one peach two apple)  I do love looking at the pics you've posted, though-- please don't give up.I'm a very bad person when you give me a credit card. The glass spheres came in sets of four and I bought 2 sets from the Linda Anderson catalog last year. Some of them got water inside and it never seems to evaporate. I'm surprised that they aren't filled with mold. Please don't think we're wealthy; I just have champagne taste and a credit card. But I do pass things up when money is especially tight. I used to dumpster dive out of necessity, but I've given that up. One of my daughters always keeps her eyes peeled when she's driving and finds interesting stuff in the trash; but those are her treasures for her yard and house. The neighborhood we live in is what some people call starter homes. The people across the street and next door have bought some very expensive ($500,000+ ?) homes and have left or are leaving this neighborhood. By $500,000, I'm speaking of gorgeous homes for this reasonable area. In suburban D. C., I think they'd go for a lot more. I like fruit trees. I killed one cherry tree and now have another. Let's hope I don't kill this one, too!

As much as I love to see everyone's great pictures, I fear I am a photography moron and it would take a LOT more than Photos101 to cure me.I'm a technology moron! If my daughter hadn't showed me step by step more than once how to put pictures on my computer, I wouldn't be able to do it. I still don't know how to organize them in special folders. My husband lets me use his digital camera and all I do is plug it into my computer and then click on this and that. I can't operate our VCR and DVD player. I answer the remote when the phone rings and try to change channels with the phone. Just kidding! I only did that once. Now I look to see what I have in my hand!

I like the spheres too! Too bad they leak.  The butterfly too--I like tin/copper work. I saw a cute quail family at a garden show that were on low stakes so they'd look like they were running through the garden. But if I bought them, there'd be less money for plants. I should've got them since I'm lacking in garden art in my flower beds. I've been too busy focusing on plants and now I see that I need "stuff". My sweetie is the one with the eye for garden art. When I have a bare space, I think "plant", he thinks "art". He's found an antique iron settee, two wrought iron trellises, a bird bath, solar lights, and a garden plaque. We also have two heavy pottery plaques on our fence that were in his collection (he used to trade photography services for pottery pieces). He also built a platform bird feeder last year out of scrap cedar. Oh! I did buy two rustic bird houses a few years back, so I have contributed! That's what's in my garden! |

Hi! Well, your post on the general garden discussions one got me to look here! I think my favorites must be my frogs, iron, ceramic, cement, plastic since I have so many of them. Also have a couple big iron dragonflies that are favorites. I really like unusual sculpture things that are welded together & keep hinting to my hubby & son to make some but they haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll be sure & check back here often. |

I've been looking for a toad, but so far I have only live ones. We used to get the cutest spring peepers on our French doors after it rained, but I wonder if the neighbors have dumped too many grass clippings in the marsh back there. I never see those little guys anymore.
