Cute, huh? |
I bought this nice enameled bowl at a thrift store the other day for 1.99 and picked up all of these wooden utensils for 49 cents each. |
I turned them into garden markers. So easy to do and they are very sturdy. |
I took them down to the garden this morning and took some photos on the way. And, I have no idea why the narrative is on the side of some of these pics. |
The lavender is growing like crazy and ready to bloom. It smells wonderful.
The Oakleaf Hydrangea blooms are awesome.
You can see the pollen on the leaf. It makes me sneeze.
I found out that I am as dangerous with a power washer as I am with a glue gun. I washed lots of stuff and it was lots of fun! Look at the difference between the clean and the dirty part on the table.
A clean fireplace area.
Look at the difference in the door!
Now I need to sand it down and oil it.
The garden is filling out nicely.
The tomatillos seem to double in size overnight.
The Serviceberries are ripe and we are eating as many as we can. And yes, that is dirt under my nails. I always have dirty hands in the garden.
I snipped more scapes.
For some reason, Teddy did not want to join me on the garden walk.
The markers in place. Click for a closer look.
I am going to buy more spoons and make more markers. They look cute in the garden.
Grapes!
That is a wagging tail you see. She was very happy when I returned from the lower gardens.

Service berries we call sugar plums, Teddy is a class act!
And oh my the power washer - what ever gal needs.
Love Leanne
Wonderful garden pictures.
My grapes are just starting to flower :-) I hope they are successful this year.
I started to think about my garden gate this morning at work and I would like to have something like Your doors! I wonder if I can find any goos ones fairly close to here, my car is small and it would be a problem to get them home otherwise :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
Love the pix of the garden today. Did you treat the wooden spoons with polyurethane or some other water proofer? This is a great idea, I never thought about wooden utensils!!
Oh and I just saw another cool idea, concerning being outside, and coming inside. At "Faerie Cottage And Garden" blog, they made a cool Outside Foot Wash.
When you mentioned dirt under your nails, from gardening, it reminded me of the foot wash.
Even if you don't make/need one, it's a cute post.
Oh and if you do go visit her, will you please say that "Auntie" sent you? I found her blogs very recently and am having fun with reading them.
Have a great fire this evening, and start your Countdown to Autumn!
Happy Midsummer Night's Eve!
