Been Junkin'

Before

After

I found this bench out in front of my neighbors house after they had moved. So I snatched it up, bought a can of spray paint for $3.44 and here is the finished product! I even got Reese to spray paint it for me! I've junked a few things in my day. In Sumas I grabbed an old wagon wheel and put in one of my flower beds. I also got an old pressure cooker and a bunch of jars in Lynden once. The pressure cooker gauge ended up being broken, but the canning jars came in handy. Junkin' is even better than Thriftin' cause it's free!

Here is a picture of my flower bed. I love it because I can see it out my kitchen window. I am hoping that I can take a picture in a couple months and have blooming sunflowers in front of that dead bush and morning glories climbing the trellis. I have all them growing you just can't see them cause they are still quite small. I need to put more snail bait out, I noticed I have a few sunflowers down. I am excited about the "yard" at this house. I have more places to plant things and I am taking full advantage. I think I even have a place for a zucchini and butternut squash plant on the side of the house! Once again I am sure my neighbors think I am nuts. I am always out there planting more or repotting things. Today I was out taking pictures of it. Yesterday Lane was driving his John Deere Gator around pulling his red wagon behind it. He was wearing a life jacket, had a butterfly net propped up on the back of his Gator and he was waving to invisible people like he was in a parade. We so belong on a couple acres out in the country! I am sure we are entertaining though.
