I must say it's getting harder to find those wooden wheels, old plows, water pumps, and such. If you find them, usually they are expensive. Folks have come to realize their value - even whiskey barrels and the smallen wooden fish barrels which I used to play with as a child are going for a pretty price these days. Every once in a while though, you'll find something which catches your eye at a yard sale or the flea markets. Yard sales are better - people want to get rid of stuff, and even though it might be broken, in the garden it looks good. I've got a few old bird houses some for as little as $2.00. And, yes, I do stop for garbage! If I see something which catches my eye there's no holding back. My daughter used to find it embarassing, but now loves to go 'hunting' every once in a while. Tonight, on the way home, I picked up an old spool bed which I intend on turning into a garden bed. In this photo, I picked up the little tricycle and made the garden ball. My dad likes this twosome. Another garden ball - my first one. I also started making little garden houses... Not a great picture, but here is my first of them. If you go to a place which sells cement statues/animals/gargoyles/etc, ask if they have broken ones or chipped ones at discount. Barrio's Concrete in Sackville usually has some tucked in a corner, and the price is quite reasonable. Walks along the beach will sometimes net you a nice piece of driftwood or some cool buoys, or maybe a broken old lobster trap. Got to be there at the right time. Do this after a nice storm surge!

I have moved Roses in Snow to the back yard and replaced it with Geneva Firetruck. I will post pictures of GT when it blooms. Also I have three big scapes on Key to My Heart so I have the red with white edge covered. For a red with a white wire edge Passion District looks much better than my Roses in Snow.

Only two pictures of note for Saturday so I thought I would tack them on here: another clump shot of Elegant Candy and the last bloom on Shores of Time.

WOW!!! Beautiful garden and setting on the water has to be a plus.

The fog in the background brought back memories.

My sister and I visited your wondress area a few years ago. We spent a day in Halifax touring your wonderful city garden and then the fort(name excapes me) before we left to see more of the country. I would come back in a heart beat. My sister is planning on coming back in October if she can comvence her hubby to travel that far.

big foot, reminds me of that poem from that lady in Texas that starts "My garden is a peaceful place, where I can go to slow my pace" Beautiful pictures. My wife and I live in Alberta and we are planning a major trip to the east coast in the next year or two, like maybe a couple of months. We have some friends in Halifax that although we stay in touch by Christmas cards and an occasional phone call, we have not seen each other in at least 35 years. About time. Stan
