The Grand Finale?

 In spite of 93 degree temperatures yesterday, we enjoyed the 
Van Wert (Ohio) Master Gardeners' Garden Walk immensely.
As usual, my camera gravitated toward garden whimsy--
documenting and adding ideas to my ever-busy brain!


 Color, signs, and seating areas always attract my attention.

I really liked this chandelier hanging in this beautiful gazebo.
Can you read the scripted under its eaves below?

 Whether rustic....
colorful...
 formal...
 or whimsical...
it caught my eye!
I was especially excited to meet a garden blogger (of excellence and renown),
Kylee.  See her Little Acre HERE if you haven't already met her.
We've done some serious Garden Walking the past couple of weeks!
This one may be the 2011 Grand Finale for us.
It's probably time to turn our attention to our own.

  4. All just lovely! I have one of those armillaries. My yard is far from formal but I should find a place to put it outside and try to get it aligned to tell time!

  5. Such a nice walk. The shade catches my eye since it has been so durned hot lately. How very fun to meet another blogger! Garden walks seem to be more fun with a gardening friend. If that last picture is of your garden-it's lovely!

  6. Oh Rebecca thankyou for taking us along!
    My favorite picture was of the old buckboard with the pepsi crate and GARDEN SCENE inside! I could gaze into that pepsi crate for a long time! I saw a garden chair photo like that awhile back. You know .. a planted chair but inside the chair part was a tiny scene. It was just awesome... like your pepsi crate. The little pink vintage metal chair ROCKS too huh?! Your post was absolutely CHARMING! Thanks for bringing your camera!
