The winner of last weeks giveaway for the amber glass compote and small dishes is: Carapace!!! Please send me your shipping info and I will ship them right out! This weeks giveaway is this pair of tall brass candlesticks. They could be polished if you want them to shine or can be used as is. To enter, leave a comment on this post and if you are not already a follower, sign on to follow.
This is my favorite thing in all of my gardens and the one I use the most....an outdoor sink! It has hot and cold running water and the basin is made from an old lab sink so it is virtually indestructible. I really miss this when it is closed down for winter.
My grass was cut for the first time yesterday.
And as predicted, the arborist and his crew broke all of my hostas and broke my little garden fairy. This is why I tried to get him out in early March but he always waits until the perennials pop out so he can destroy them.
The pool is clearing up. The copper filter system we use puts a slight electrical charge through the water. It is just enough to kill algae. I don't like the idea of swimming in a pool full of chemicals.
Some of these trees will be thinned out next week to allow more sun to reach the raised beds.
The rhododendrons are blooming on the side garden path.
The ferns and hostas are filling out next to the house.
On the advice of my blog buddy over at autumnforest, I collected all of my broken windchime pieces and made a windchime out of a English Walking Stick branch.
The potting table yet again. My potting table makes me happy.
I added some outdoor cushions to the gazebo but I think these are too bright. So these are going on the Blog Techs front porch where they will look much better and I am hunting for pillows that will complement this area more than the red ones.

The right red flowers- are they rhododendrons? I never saw them in that color before. They are stunning!

Damnit about the arborist! Go figure.
The garden is greening up and filling in. The gazebo really did clean up beautifully. Can't wait to see what cushions karma brings you. :)
The sink and table area are both beautiful and practical.
Everything is so fun to watch grow!
As always, thanks for sharing your garden, a part of your life.
xoxo to Teddy Fluffs!

To bad they broke the little garden fairy, the hostas will grow up again so that isn´t that bad. But the fairy won´t heal unfortunally.
I have never heard of that filter system before. Those I know that has pools uses chlorine and that isn´t especially nice.
So nice to see rhododendrons in bloom! I think it´ll take at least two weeks before the first ones flowers over here. It´s still to cold. I agree that those cushions were a bit to bright even if I as a sweed love red color :-)
My leg is much better. Now when I understood why itbehaved like it did I could treat it. But it was an odd feeling when it happened :-) :-)
Have a great day now!
Christer.
Teddy saved my life.......
Hugs to Teddy
Sending Love,
