Garden Kitch

My weather vane has been through four moves with me. He has circled his domain from the third floor deck of a downtown century house in Toronto, atop a post attached to an above- ground pool in Waterloo, perched on a rod inserted in an old tree stump in Kitchener and now, from the shed roof in Waterloo. He is a reminder to me of the life that was with Hal.



Angel looked every bit the part until the it had an altercation with a garden rake. I was unsuccessful at mending it so it tries to behave angelically in two parts.


Not entirely successful since that head takes on a menacing face don't you think? It reminds me of "The Omen."


My cats are living elsewhere now but I have this in their memory.


The antiques sign is a newer find and it amuses me that we continue to hang in there together.
I use it as a snow marker in the winter.




Somewhere out there is more kitch just waiting for me.

cows and hedgehogs

Cow keeps close check on the back yard happenings. Not much to do during the hot spell. No one had the energy for mischief.
The drought has left my squash vines stunted but they may yet make a comeback.





I finally painted the rain barrel; white just didn't set the tone and the blue is friendly. Okay, I admit it could use another coat. manana.



Badger or hedgehog? I've never met either one. Anyway, he finally had his chance to act as the mud scraper he's supposed to be and his bristles fell out.
Poor dear. He's retired now.



I try to stay away from kitch, but really, a corner cow? How could anyone resist.
My junk yard man is gone now so there may not be anymore corner cows in my future.
