When my ceramics pieces started to get too large to keep on my window sills (which are getting pretty full), many of them ended up on my counter. So I am happy to mobilize them when I need somewhere to store fresh fruit, like these cherries and apricots from the Okanagan (Keremeos BC), and blueberries from my mother-in-law in Agassiz :
My two abstract garden sculptures are now in the garden. The one on a stick serves as a bumper for the hose, so it won't disturb the garden when I pull the sprinkler around the upper yard :
I hope to add sculptures like this everywhere that I pull the hose, so I have a few more to go. A number of years ago, I started with this driftwood goose, which has held up amazingly well in the garden, and has not even been repainted (I move it to the shed in Winter) :
I brought home a frog for my garden yesterday, he comes to us from the Okanagan (Osoyoos BC), a few hundred miles from here. It is a lot more moist here, and we have lots of insects in the garden, so I hope he likes it here. Here he is before setting him free in my garden :
I set out two bowls of water for him, and this ceramic cylinder, in case he is looking for a place to hide (although I think it may not be big enough for his liking). Here he is, crawling past it. That was the last I saw of him last night. I hope I will see him again, and most of all, I hope he chooses to live in my garden for the remainder of the year.
Great update Lily! Love the frog. Hope he stays in your garden too. :)
