Garden Rust

Romantic Rustic Rust
Is there any better place for a little rust?
In the Garden for sure...
Like the garden object is going back to nature....to be one with the soil again eventually.
White garden chairs are always better with a little rust.
Rusted objects peak out amid green foliage.
A forgotten gate.
Climbing roses entwine this rusted fence.
A perfect garden urn...rust and roses.

Thanks for all your kind comments about my paintings the other day.
Next to paint on my list is portraits of the weenies.

I must take a photo of Harvey.
He has lost weight.
I put him on a diet a couple of months ago and he's still chubby but not so.
He's got a spring in his step.

Funny thing is...he is not the one asking for food all the time.
I am spoon feeding them so I can control how much each one eats.

Violet is the one demanding food all the time. 
So I guess before Harvey was mostly eating out of boredom.

I think he's lost about 5 pounds. 
I need to weigh him.

I took tours of two gardens in the neighborhood this week.
I'll show soon. 

Have an Awesome Saturday!

Garden Gates

Through the Garden Gate
New project here at my little cottage.
Yes, on top of all the other projects still unfinished.
A new fence and garden gate.
I've been pinning inspiration photos for awhile trying to figure out what sort of gate I want.
Something like one of these.
I want a pretty entrance to my backyard.
I've seen so many pretty options on Pinterest but when I go searching local 
fencing companies, I'm finding nothing at all like these.
I'm guessing I'll have to build the sort of gate I want.
This one would be perfect.
Perhaps I should just show this one to my fence builder and tell him to duplicate?


And if you are a regular reader of this blog...no...I still have not decided on the perfect
french doors for the house yet either.

The fence became a priority after the new sewer line was put in.
All my pretty wisteria had to come down to get the back hoe in to dig the huge hole for the 
sewer line.

So now that fence is in sad shape where the wisteria once was.
And that whole side of the yard...very bare.

I thought I wanted a solid wood gate but then it occurs to me the dogs won't be able to see out
and they do love to look through the gate to see whoever is coming so perhaps 
a metal gate like the one in the first photo would be best.
