I have to admit I am not a garden decoration type of person. I like it when my flowers can speak for themselves (I do apologize to anyone who has ever given me a garden accessory and is currently reading this, but you would have figured it out anyway if you were ever looking for it in my garden). I will admit, I do have a bucket and old milk can that were in my garden when we moved in, but they have been a nice backdrop for my daffodils in the spring and the bee balm quickly hides them as summer takes off.
Where am I going with this you ask? Well, about two weeks ago my wonderful husband(who by the way wants the bucket and milk can out of the garden now!) found an old rusted bird bath and brought it home. In fact he is very proud of his bird bath. Are you getting where I am going with this? Not only do I not want extras in my garden, but I have never been much of a bird bath person. Not that I dislike the robins, yellow finches, wren and several other varieties of birds we have hanging out in our yard. I am actually planning on putting some bird houses just beyond our yard for a focal point into the trees/field behind out house. But a birdbath is a different story. I guess I am asking for some creative advice as to what to do with the birdbath, so my loving husband who will probably edit this post is happy and I maintain the natural zen in garden that I so love.
(Free bird bath saved from the landfill....Some sandpaper and paint and it'll be good to go. Was going to put it in the garden to distract one's eye from the weeds, but now I'll have to find it a new home. -Editor)
