Default Q: What besides plants and mulch do you have in your garden?

I have lots of rocks that I've hauled home from my favorite glacial outfall
pile. And a few (two, I think) pieces of wonderfully contorted driftwood
but not much else.

What do you have in yours?

Oh, wait, on rainy days I have a large pale green trash can that I put out
under the leaky gutters to catch rainfall for use on dry days.


Generally here and there are
Frogs, toads, lizards (of the 'statue' kind) 1" to 1'
The above-- of the Real kind
Tables, benches, trellis, walkways of brick, pine needles, bark
Some pieces of driftwood
Bird feeders and houses

Front of house: arbor, birdbath, bench (turquoise), lava rocks
Meditation garden: Angel, St Francis, cherub, Buddha, Kwan Yin
all are small, glider type bench
Fern garden: rocks, green artglass bottles on a stump with a
round mirror in back on the fence, natural rock basin with a
water drip for the birds (searched for years for this)
Razzle Dazzle garden: sculpture made from a (discarded in the
neighbor's trash) bentwood end table on a railroad car wheel base
Garden shed: old screen door with sweet peas growing on it.
Various 'artifacts' old garden tools, sprinklers, watering cans
rusty stuff etc (all artfully arranged of course)
Butterfly garden: 2 artificial BFlies, arbor into vegie garden
Faerie garden: garden fairies and a lecherous gnome
Other: Rock turtle sculpture made from 7 large rocks, total
about 36 inches diameter
sculpture made from 3 concrete blocks and several naturally
round rock spheres
Solar clothes drier

All of this sounds like a lot of stuff, and it is; it is arranged so
that most
of the smaller things are hidden in a natural habitat of foliagerocks,
and
some 'disappear in summer, and I 'find them" again in winter.
Others are placed so that only one is in view at a time.
