A taste of spring, a metal thing, and a project.

I picked up these heavy duty industrial metal light fixtures at a thrift shop recently. They're fairly sizable, measuring about 18" across and 15" high. (guessing a little there) The metal is finished in white with just a few dings to add patina. What transformation do YOU think is right for these? I would love your opinions.

Here's a little peek at a project in the works at my house. Just a peek. You like? I will post the finished product when the time comes.

Hey Spring, where are you?

The sweet smell of flowers...the warmth of the sun...the sound from a rusty, junky chair-turned-water fountain...

Can't you just hear the water "tinkling"? (Is that a word?!)

SPRING - WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?!

I'm getting worried...

A recent visitor...

I had a visitor the other day while I was away at work. Know how I could tell? The tracks came right up to my door, as if he had stopped by for a chat (chirp?, squawk?, what DO pheasants say??)

I've had a wonderful time watching the wildlife out the window this winter, but I'll be happy for them when they get their much deserved SPRING.

I thought I should get this post on soon since it officially "is" spring now. Well, that's what the calendar says anyway. There's still quite alot of snow on the ground here but a forecast of close to 50 degrees tomorrow will take care of some of that and some rain next week might really get the job done....of course we might have to get out the boats then!
