And early sunny spring has given me a bit of a head start on planning. Planting and potting in places where taking pictures will pay off.
( Pardon the alliteration. LOL )
A broken limb which took down power lines, meant that a large truck had to push its way into my back yard. In its way were my old arbor and a leaning wooden swing on wood posts. So when they had to push it all over to get to the pole, I was glad we hadn't replaced it with new. Time for a back yard redesign, and I could use the discarded posts for a bird feeding station that I had dreamed of placing where the children's swing and trampoline had been. Now that it was gone, I had a large place with pea gravel as the base. No sense trying to grow grass ....sooo ---
I stacked the old posts to provide a background and a definition of size. I took old sections of trees that hadn't been chopped into firewood yet to make perches. I placed stepping stones from the paths where vines had grown over them, into a pattern around a ground feeding station. I pulled limb sections from the back of the lot, and laid the unusual ones that had mushrooms growning on them as anchors for the spaces. And I leaned a limb or two against the trees. Ornamental items which I stored for the winter went in next and I pulled together the concrete items from Mom's.
