Kiwi Garden "Art in the Garden"

I think I have wasted enough time this afternoon trying to figure out why some of the photos are posting sideways. I cannot figure out how to move them clockwise to straighten them out for you to see. So I will only post these ones here. I love any kind of metal sculpture for the garden, especially old iron implements that are re purposed into art. I loved this turtle using a large piece of igneous rock as the body.

Loved these old saw blades, carved out and left to rust naturally. I wish I could do welding.

Sorry. I can't even tell you what these figures are crafted from. They didn't grab me like they did for my son's GF, who took lots of pictures of them.  They looked kind of neat playing in the trees, swinging or climbing up ropes.

But I am kind of traditional in that I would rather have cute animals in the garden than these figures of people.

Birdhouses are my absolute favourite. I have pictures of those, but until I can get them on here up and down. I won't bother putting them on. 

So on Monday I cut the front and back lawns again and spent about an hour outside weeding one of the front garden beds again. I picked strawberries.They aren't very big, but they are plentiful for the few plants I have.

 Yesterday I started my day by driving into Amerstview to drop off my prescription and picking up a few groceries I needed, including 2 packets of Certo and a bag of sugar. I got my 2 loaves of bread, 4 liters of milk and one dozen eggs. I picked up 2 cans of Heinz Zoodles for when the grand kids come next. They were on sale for 99 cents a tin. I spent the afternoon cleaning and hulling all of the berries above, as well as the ones I picked last week and put in the fridge. I made 2 batches of freezer jam, put some sliced berries into a strawberry gelatin dessert and froze a quart bag for later on (perhaps a strawberry-rhubarb pie??)

To be honest, I feel I didn't accomplish much today. I changed out my bedsheets, soaked some things in bleach water and did up a super load of laundry. I folded and put away one load of laundry. I picked up the trashcans from all around the house for the garbage pickup in the morning. There wasn't enough for the pickup last week. I sorted out all the Blue Box recyclables  to put out in the morning. I worked with my Cricut machine for a short while and made some comments on blogs. I did not go outside at all today. There were no big accomplishments....just a bunch of small household chores that needed doing. Some days are like that. Have a great rest of the week, everyone.
And for those of you who like to see the flowers, here are some more peonies.

 Love the colour of these bright pink ones with bright yellow centers.

But love the size and fullness of these pale pink flowers.
