THe Big Log

17 years ago

I moved this log to my backyard a couple of years ago. I added all of the hostas around it this spring. The hostas came from my mom's yard. She moved and didn't want to move the hosta. They are just generic ones, but they still make this corner look nice.

    I love the look of big tree pieces in the yard. Your red/white sign against the log is great. The hosta adds the finishing touch to your masterpiece.

    Hey, calico...it's ok to talk to yourself...but from these GJers (aka, susieroses) has me singin' out in my gardens: "What a Wonderful World!" ... or one song I laid on myself (posted to GJers) the past couple wks, "I Love" by Tom T. Hall "yellow fuzzy ducks, old pick-up trucks...." ... you got the truck idea down...maybe you can sing it...susie has a link here somewhere!

    I am very lucky to have brothers (4 of them) and a wonderful dad (who up until 4 months ago when he passed away) that enable me. My youngest brother made the wagon wheel planter for my 40....uh I mean my 29th birthday LOL !!!

    That looks great, the hostas really make it look like a woodland area with a naturally fallen tree - really pretty! My husband has a Red Crown gas pump he is restoring, so I too really like the sign you have! :)

    Lovely cc, what a very spritual place you have created. Does the wagon wheel planter have a box on the other side. Do you think he would give directions? Pretty please!!!!!

    You really made some hidden treasure there. I like those big wheels, too, and the log I had to look closely to see what you were talking about, fits right in. Nice job!

    You really have a way with placing the big items.
    Wonderful!
