I bought this cute chickadee yard stake. I've got it against the fence so I can see it from the loom room window - it's along what I'm now calling rose bush lane as all the rose bushes are along this fence
And this is a armillary - it has circles that will spin around in a breeze/wind. It's hard to see here but it sits on the edge of my future garden beds, it's really tall, much taller than I am. We got it in the ground this morning - of course there's no breeze so it's not moving right now. And yes, those raised beds are in need of soil - that will come. I'm thinking of planting strawberries in the little cubbies in the blocks, then veggies inside the beds.
Sang, I wish I had been paying more attention! I would have loved a nuthatch of some sort, although I know exactly where I can steal a nifty armillary from now! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think he'll be back for the spring garden show, not sure when that is.
DeleteDang, not sang...grumble...spell changers
ReplyDeleteLove that little bird. Although my yard is almost always windy, an armillary like that is too big for my small space. I have something that makes me smile. Will have to take a photo and post.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see what you have Peg. The little birds are only around 2 ft tall including the stake. I'm really wishing I had bought more to put along the fence - but something to look forward to when the artist is back in our area again.
DeleteGreat choices on your yard art! I think they add character to a yard. Those raised beds look like they will be so nice to have this spring.
