Last July I moved from a 1/4-acre yard to a 7-acre yard and a house under additions/renovations. So, needless to say, I have spent a lot of time outdoors during the past 10 months. I'm also having menopausal hot flashes/sweats so I even spent the winter piddling out there during the daylight hours.
I am currently obsessed with yard art (which I like to call YaRd ArT). While I realize some folks may call this tacky, I am in love with it and can't seem to get enough. Having a few acres sure helps to fuel my fire too. I dream of it looking like a page in Southern Living, but since I am a self-employed small business owner, that's probably not gonna happen - unless I'm fortunate enough to win some $1 million dollar sweepstakes and take early retirement. In the meantime, I'll just keep obsessing and repurposing 'junk' to some 'treasures' to others and spreading it around my yard!

| Starting a succulent garden. I was given a lot of shells so I used them! |
 |
| Pitcher repurposed with old metal table - these are 'spiderweb' hens & chickens. Love the touch of white! |
 |
| Old cast iron kettle. |

One of my favorites (besides Harold) - this is a large vintage light cover
and a little stool I had to make a mushroom base! |
