"Unless each day

 can be looked back upon by an individual

as one in which he has had some fun,

 some joy, some real satisfaction,

 that day is a loss."

~ Mosaic Monday ~

Summer is winding down..........

I'm joining in over at "Little Red House" for mosaic Monday!
Why don't you stop by?

Weekly words to live by...

I believe in love and hope,

 in jamming out by yourself

 in the car.

I believe in having someone tell you that you're beautiful...

dancing in the rain and miracles...

 I believe in smiling until

 your cheeks hurt

 and laughing until you cry.

*{ Garden junk }*

I just love finding some old worn out junk to give a second life to in the flower bed!


An old chair...a mirror with a worn frame...last year I put two old stained-glass windows in the flower bed. 
I 've carted those windows around from state to state, through nine moves.

Here's some examples I've found:

Well-worn garden tools fastened together into a teepee for climbing plants. How about this gate?

A large terra-cotta saucer atop a tomato cage serving double-duty as a birdbath and trellis for climbing vines.

This old wire garden fence moves up in life. By fastening it to the porch soffit, the fence serves both as a trellis for climbers and as architectural interest on an older home.

 This old drawer attached to a bed footboard becomes an adorable "window box" planter with very little work or money.

I love how the owner used old plates to make an edging for the flower bed!
