And the link below takes you to the "Misc. Album" in the "Inspiration Album" that purplemoon keeps for all of us with great projects in it...some "pot people" in this album, too. enjoy!

ANd if that isn't all -- we have 2 baby squirrels here that LOVE digging up my plants !! LOL

and the squirrels, well, I have more tolerance for them but people who have the balls to lift a potted plant from INSIDE your yard should be shot on site..

I'm very sorry about that, cuz I know the anxious feeling that goes with it..dammed lug heads~

it's a shame too, cuz there are a lot of undone projects that I'm not up to working with.
I can't blame the weather, tho it is still very rainy but that's not enough to keep one from planting, if one desires to.

I just don't care.

there are boots to plant, birdbaths to mosaic, wood to make planters, flats to fill..
a hobby horse to work on..

but there are a few bright spots in the yard...

sad huh?
it's all been since the county has been on my a$$ and I just lost momentum. it's still pending and everytime I even think of going in to the office, my anxiety level goes balistic. so, I try to keep an even keel and get busy with something inside the house.

Even though I know it's fun making things & I've collected stuff for future projects ... my mind takes hold and makes the unfinished projects seem like a "burden" . I never get to them.

You can't imagine how good it is seeing a post like that .
LOL .... Thank you !!!!!!!

These are my experiments. They're just stacked on metal poles.

Edna's photos are on the link below. She really knows how to store clay pots. Linda

it's taken me some time to gather things that I knew would go somewhere in the yard.
that's just it..I have so much more and so little energy to keep up with my ideas.
it's also what's gotten me in trouble with the county.

it's not even the county..it's the neighbor, who has complained of too much junk..so, by law, the county has to investigate the complaint.
I got a 'rambo' enforcement officer, who has no idea or tolerance for non traditional collections of garden junk.
in fact, he'd never even heard the term 'garden junk' before I was talking about it.
he follows up on acreage with junk vehicles, illegal dumping of oil and other things that are environmentally injurious.

but, he got to be on good speaking terms and later on phone calls to the neighbors.
so, if they don't like something, they simply give him a quick phone call. it's been going on for months.

but you know, I've come to the realization that life is way too short to die over this type of trouble.
I already have the stuff..it's both in my yard and a lot in storage.
it's not even the first day of summer yet and I have grandsons who would love to come over and slap some paint on boards, or pallets to make into things..or even if I can get in touch with my garden junk neighbor, I bet she and I could have a mess of fun, getting into muddy messes, or cement, or whatever...

he more or less came from behind and hit me behind the knees but I'm only down for a while. I'll be back up and loaded for bear one day soon.
the weather has been such that it's not made a huge difference in plants..it rains enough that I haven't had to go out and water things..that's a good thing.

one thing that has put a spark back in my mindset is that website of the lady with all the stacked pots, all around her yard with the succulents..tho I can't grow that type of plants here in the northwest..
but good grief, that's exactly the epitome of what I have wanted all along..
who was that...Edna?...
it was amazing and I was looking at that last night, around midnight..I was so mentally captured by it all, I nearly wanted to go outside in the yard, right then...lol

time will be right, I'll be fine, I just need to heal a bit and then, I may have to tape stickers onto certain things, to keep track of the different projects that need attention.

with school out, the little boys are 6 and 9 and will be spending a lot of time over here, for fun..I've had them mosaic rocks in the past and they loved that. I think they're old enough to help me make a good difference around here.

larger rocks would be really pretty around the yard in planers or labeling plants on the ground....
