Dad's Garden
.
Mom and Dad had this delightful scene carved out of a tree in their yard. (Mom or Dad, can you supply the artist's name in the comments? I tried to Google it but there are so many! I'd like to link to him if he has a site.) Dad got a digital camera recently so he took these pictures. (Dad - could you take pictures of the other side sometime?)
Here's a bench Dad made. So the plants have a place to rest.
They live on a corner lot so their garden gets lots of attention from passersby. Sometimes Dad puts plants out by the curb that he's thinned out - and they are taken quickly! Or he tells me about women who admonish him for working outside when it's so hot. Those pines (and the one the carving was done from) were our live Christmas trees when Gretchen and I were teenagers, which means they have been growing there for, gulp, 35 years. Cripes. How did that happen?
More to come I'm sure as Dad continues to play with his new camera!

What a lovely garden!
That's an absolutely great sculpture!
Lovely yard and the bench would be right up my alley. Wouldn't have to bend over to de-head flowers in the pots. :-)
One of my favorite stumps rotted away, so how do they keep that one from doing the same?
I am one of the lucky recipients of your Dads "thinning adventures". The hosta that I received are doing great....The yard is even more lovely in person! I only wish I was at the age to live life as if every day was a Saturday..!
