I can't do such a post as you have done: The only art (or decor) items I have consciously purchased for the garden are a small Buddha head, a small sitting Buddha, and an antique life ring (for the pool area). Oh and a reclining gnome, in honor of my grandfather's garden gnome that I loved. We also have one frog, a gift from a young relative. And a small wooden bridge from the cage of my favorite pet rat, Hermione, on her burial spot. I like the serenity of the Buddha figures, and the relaxed jollity of the gnome. They remind me not to be always busy. But the main "ornament" in our garden is actually an eyesore: the big ugly steel support for a gigantic tv satellite dish that was here when we purchased our place. The dish is long gone of course - easy to disassemble. But the stand stubbornly remains, embedded in concrete. We keep trying to visualize it as modern art. Or as a support for something yet to be built. Visual beauty is something I appreciate but have difficulty creating. So I'm off to clean some seeds! Now I know why cleaning them is so important - but more of that in a later post.Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497277770771473008.post-30966800674564432742009-11-08T04:44:55.675-08:002009-11-08T04:44:55.675-08:00That Maitreya Buddha is lovely, it is really somet...That Maitreya Buddha is lovely, it is really something.
