I'm putting the rocks around other beds that I have decided to do. I do have a pic of the mess on my side porch that I'll post as well as some gardens I've finished and some that I'm starting. I spent three hours today preparing the bed behind the bench. That one runs about 6 1/2 ft by 14 ft wide. I'm planting shade and partial shade plants in the one behind the bench. All kinds of butterfly attacting flowers in the "yet to be even touched" butterfly bed. I have a variety of plants in the one by the walk. I can't plant too much yet because we still may get a cold snap. It isn't really safe to plant much before Memorial Day so we just spend all of our time preparing beds and moving stuff around..."L"

luna, the eggs were plastic and some were wood. Most were those cheapy pastel plastic eggs you can buy in the Easter section right now. Kudzu, I have lots of rusty springs too, but they are the kind that are fat on one end and skinny on the other. Trying to decide what to do with them. Wish they were fat on both ends and skinny in the middle! You should post a picture of yours!

roundrobin ~ thank you for mentioning this. I did look for a warning about ovens on the instructions and didn't see any. I just went back to look again. There is some teeny weeny writing at the very bottom of the instructions that is a caution. It says " Even though these panels are Class A fire rated they may be deformed with excessive heat over 140°. Keep toaster ovens, cooking ranges etc. 2 to 3 inches away from the panel's surface. " I measured my stove and the top part against the wall where the controls are is almost 4 inches deep. The wall panels drop down just below the counter top at the stove. That should be okay in reference to my oven. I'm going to bake some cornbread tomorrow afternoon and I'll check the behind the stove to see how hot it gets then. Class A is the best fire protection according to google, but I still will be cautious. The paint sample I have is from Lowe's. It is kind of a taupe color to match one of the mottled colors in the counter top. There are two colors I need to choose from. One is Valspar's Timber Dust and the other is also Valspar Cincinnatian Hotel Nichols Taupe. I've never used Valspar paint before. I may take the sample to my regular paint guy at Benjamin Moore and let him mix some for me. Linda

TMG Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and since you can't do an exact it will be your interpretation of the original. I've no doubt the artist would be glad to help you get out of your slump, and love to see the finished product. Besides we have all seen things in others work that inspires us to try. No harm no foul. Get back to work, and quit feeling bad!!! ~: )
