    What a lovely corner garden and a great looking field of corn in the background. Do you have Hollyhocks planted near that outhouse?

    Also when visiting ladies needed to visit the outhouse, they would ask to 'see the Hollyhocks'...less embarrassing for all concerned that way. ;)

    Oh, that's lovely, and so GREEN!
    But I must ask, what were you doing on the roof?

    Very nice view! the phlox is beautiful. the star gazer certainly adds a very nice fragrance to the yard, too.

    Well, why didn't you mention you were having fun on the roof? Probably scraping paint was the most entertaining . . . .
    At least you had a beautiful view while working.

    It's a lovely corner of your garden with some very pretty colour.

    When i brought metal bed pan home from auction. Jerry asked"WHY" Did you buy that !!!. I put silk sweet peas in it. But phlox kinda took over. I have divided and gave some away.But can't see pitcher pump in this picture. Ran crystal through wire and it looks like water dripping. Have to make another OH. wet snow last year -then high winds we had in May. We had to take it down. Little boy (waiting) He held line waiting line starts here.
