My Old Pump

12 years ago

Hi Everyone! Worked outside for just a bit today in the heat...added a bowling ball (now a gazing ball LOL) to my old pump vignette...changed out a little wagon wheel with the bigger, old wagon wheel you see in the picture. :o) That's a glass float on top of the pump that I purchased at a garage sale for $2. My wife Carol found the little turtles (in front) in a Terry's Village catalog. The bowling ball came from a teacher friend (for free!) when she heard I like to place them in my gardens as gazing balls! :o) ENJOY! Bear Hugs! Kirk

You use rocks so well as part of your vignettes. The native rocks here are not very pretty. I always notice yours.
