Eclectic

is the best word ever.  I now have a style!  I like the odd things and now instead of someone saying, "Her style is a little crazy.  Bless her heart",  I can be eclectic and all is forgiven.

Here is a barbed wire wreath with a tree knot.

A barbed wire "nest" with rusty pliers "birds"

My bone tree

with bird feeder.

Perfect for the upcoming holiday.

A experimental solution

for a trash bag in your car.

The grocery bags fit perfectly inside, 

and are fastened on each side over buttons.

The white part is elastic and the entire bag is washable.

.

I will fine tune my idea with color coordination

and different shapes..

Not bad for the first prototype.

This may be adjusted for a glove box trash container.

Scary?

Happy Halloween!

Obsessed or Possessed...

Help!  I can't stop.

The fig won the draw

along with the plum trees

and a few other sprouts.

Plants sprouting every where.

I guess you're wondering what is wrong with me.

Remember last year Hubby almost died?

I didn't do much trimming then.

Well, I'm playing catch up.

The Lady Bug posed.

Found a vacant nest from last year

and have baby figs!

Does it look like I did any thing?

Fig straight  ahead, plums to the left,

minus the dead limbs and stray trees.

The tools wait for another job.

Some Things You Can't Capture...

with a point and shoot

Several feet over my head these young fledglings 

prepare to leave the nest.

I tried and tried

to capture their flight

I guess I will have to leave this

to the professionals.

They fussed at me the entire time.

I'll never be a Spielberg.

The Nest

The nest was empty in the thorny bush
Woven by mastery not learned in a book
The fledglings departed a late summer day
Lock stock and barrel they flew away

Waiting for the next guest
To line with feathers and grass
Be mindful of the thorns
They're a pain in the ass.
