Eagle,
The only problem with NC is that everything grows big here, especially the weeds! [Wink]

We had a firepit in the back yard and even used it in the winter. All bound in snowsuits and blankets, we sat around the wood fire and roasted wieners and marshmallows on Friday nights. I used some old bricks to build it. I wanted my grand daughter to enjoy her visits with us and our extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. We'd sing songs, make wishes on falling stars, and have lots of fun. It was when she got to stay up late at our house. She remembers it well...

chick, you're giving me lots of great ideas. Thanks. We just got our fire pit last week. It's been too warm to use it.

What a thoughtful and fun grandmother you are!

This thread is about 2 years old....but would love to update and continue it! I love yard art and wonder what everyone here has. Photos would be nice, too. Join in with what you have or would LIKE to have eventually! Maybe we can get some ideas from one another.

Oh goody....I'm waiting! My photos may have to come when I'm done with the Spring set up. Today is a sopping wet, rainy day (much needed rain!) My perennials are just beginning to pop up. What I want to create this year is a backyard tiki bar

Sounds nice, Louisa...I have the cheap flaming ones around our little hot tub! I'll have to check out the solar ones. I also got into rock painting but only a little and as a beginner so there are a few little things in a flower garden.

Yesterday I ran around the garden like a newspaper reporter and photographed all our "kitch".. ahem art. I didn't realize we had so much. Most of it we bought on our travels. From the drift wood from Maine to the beautiful Chimes in Vancouver...it's all around us. The colourful tile we purchased in the Canary Islands, and the ceramic vase in Spain. The deer are made in Germany, and the old hut is our garden storage shack; that's just about more important than the house!

Louisa please post a picture of your torches!

Ladyjane you have a hot tub?! We just love ours, and go in it just about every day all year round.

Here is a little slide show of our garden art. Just copy it and google it.
