Friday's Fences~Mar 2, 2012

~~~

~see other Friday's Fences posts here~

~~~

This rustic board fence separates our yard on the west side from a wooded lot, and the neighbors, beyond that. I like the privacy it gives us for our patio area.

 This area of the fence is at the front part of the yard.

 Further back on the fence, my husband likes to display old farm collectibles! OK...Just junk to most, but we find this stuff interesting to have around.

On our recent trip to visit our daughter's family in Orlando-imagine  my great surprise when I looked in the back yard and saw-THIS!

I was surprised and tickled because this rooster guy is so much like the one I saw in Athens, Alabama a couple years back.  I posted about it *here...*

Some pics of that big bird!

*Also, my blog friend, Carletta, met up with one of these guys* in-West Virginia-or Va.

We both blogged about these big birds...and were wondering if they were multiplying!  :)

( later Carletta mentioned another of these big roosters sighted by, yet, another blogger!!! )

LOL-I think maybe they are!

Yard Art Thursday

We live in the country and have a rustic  solid board fence along one side of our property. It's the perfect place for my husband to put some of the old farm things of the past that he likes to collect. I like them too-which makes it good!

  :)

Time and weather exposure only serve to make them more appealing- IMO!

I've  noticed this 'yard art'  several times in my sister's neighborhood when I'd go over to visit her.

We were invited over for a cook-out on July 3rd. so I decided to stop and get some pics  of this unique idea!

I think it's pretty cool, but I guess you can tell if you look closely that most of the flowers are 'fakes.'  :)

Yard Art-May 13, 2010-Bell

Yard Art!

~ *click here* to find more! ~

Yard Art has always been an interest of mine. I love seeing the different ways people find for expressing their personalities ...almost anything goes in decorating our yards!

For instance-
I have seen old fashioned, claw foot, bathtubs used as water gardens.
(I have one of these and am thinking of making myself one.)

Also-
I have seen 'Flower beds ' made of old iron bed frames. They are set up like a bed would normally be -with colorful flowers planted inside! Very striking.
( I'll try to get a picture of one in my sister's neighborhood!)

My husband has come up with some fine ideas over the years ...This one pleased me greatly- though it did not require any great creativity on his part. Nonetheless, I was thrilled when he found this old bell at a flea market a couple years ago and did some welding and painting and installed it on a pole in our back yard.

I decided to join in this time and share some of our Yard Art! :)
Our place certainly has an abundance of
Yard Junk...err...Yard Art, that is!

(...but one man's trash is another man's treasure, I have heard!)

Anyone would be amazed at the things my husband will undertake to follow through with his ideas . I have never known him to back away from any project he has a hankering to do...

For instance...these wheels!

He had bought a couple of old metal wheels at a flea market- which were not too heavy to be manageable- but he had never done anything to use them or display them in any way; he had more in mind!

In time, he found an additional 4-wheels ; 2 matching sets of some very heavy farm equipment wheels.

He found out these wheels were free for the taking at some property that was being cleared for some new construction.

Only problem was these wheels had been cemented into the ground and the cement had been poured around the bottom of the wheel and with a metal rod welded onto each. The rods extended a couple feet, making it possible to stabilize the wheels in an upright position when they were installed at that site many years before.

The only way to get the wheels out was to dig down several feet. Of course he could do this!

He did this!

Luckily, he was able to get a couple guys to help him load them onto his trailer to bring them home!

The plan, for these 4 wheels and the 2 we already had, was to install them the very same way at our place along the edge of our wildflower meadow. I was able to help him position the wheels with rods attached and then to hold them in place when he poured the cement around them!








We like the way these old wheels look at the edge of our meadow !
