your grandma's yard

If your grandma had one, I do too and I love it.
Witness:







Huh?!! She did, didn't she?!! And would you believe I looked high and low for one of these guys. I was so happy to find one for my yard.

Check out our camper trailer:









Absolutely LOVE IT! Occasionally people stop to ask if it's for sale but IT'S NOT! And I wouldn't dream of changing the 70's paneling, the gold colored cook top, or the gold, orange and green flowered upholstery inside of it either.


Our lawn furniture is all old metal furniture that Troy has repainted for me in happy colors.











And the latest additions, which were rescued from a junk yard for my yard by my mother-in-law and my husband are these:













Troy found the old table with metal legs that looks like it would have an enameled top, but it doesn't. The top is wooden, and though Troy painted the whole thing a very nice yellow color, the top just isn't in very good shape. So I dug out this vintage table cloth and it looks fabulous. Especially with that old watering can on it.

The bright yellow cart was something my mother-in-law rescued for me. Don't you love when your mother-in-law finds junk yard items that remind her of you? I do feel quite special! Anyway, it's a very happy addition to our patio. Quite handy.


And then see that giant clay pipe next to the table? That is an old water pipe that was dug out of someone's yard a few blocks away and Troy hauled it home to me. Why? Because he knew I would have an appreciation for it, that's why.
So.......what kind of flowers should I plant in it?
