One Thing Leads to Another

 My husband's thorough garden shed cleaning last night

uncovered some long-forgotten potential Yard Art!

 So we hung THIS particular piece on the front porch,

 and I went to work stenciling the two sides of this shovel/spade.

(Do you know how difficult it is to think of single words to deck a spade?!?)

 I waited for morning's light - which comes much later these days - to take these photos.

I couldn't quite capture the true essence of our side yard

 or the lavender flowers on this hosta as I rounded the front corner of our house,.

but, as you can see, one thing led to another...
