i like gazing balls. have had two. one was yellow and was smashed by a wayward child's bicycle. the other was irridescent and was stolen from the garden, post and all, last night. and i am upset about it because it was perfect. and people stopped to ask where i found it. (wal-mart believe it or not). now i have to find another one but think i will grace the backyard with it.

My favourite garden accessory is the house male ...
Apart from that just now it's the new bench I bought in Woolworths. It's the first time i've ever had anywhere permanent to sit in the garden, and I'm so
proud of it!!!

How nice! Ours is now such a jungle I am devoured the second I leave the house. Next dry spell I get I weed and throw and empty stuff which harbors small amounts of water where they breed! Not as easy accomplishment in a place which averages over 150 inches of rain a year...

My favorite new garden object is the chiminea, a place for friends to gather around the fire. And the recirculating fountain.

I've seen those (chiminea) in the garden centre. Not heard of anyone who has one though. Most people just have barbies. I would LOVE a fountain/waterfall. I have a pond/waterfall, but no pump.

update on my gazing ball. son saw it on the way to school this morning. this afternoon, he showed me where it was. i went up to the house and rang the bell (picture in tow--i had taken a picture of my peace rose and the globe was in it) but no one was home. upon turning to leave, i noticed mulch on the bottom of the gazing ball stand. there was no mulch in their garden. the mulch came from my garden. called the cops to report the theft. told them the address, now i wait.

Fantastic sleuthing, Wolfie. Best let the police handle it! If'n you're gonna have a koi pond better stock it with gambuzia, too. They eat the mosquito larvae which will be part of your life with that pond.
Never heard of a chiminea. Must check out what is Terry's fav place to hang out. Does it dispense beer, too?

case of the missing gazing ball update:
the detective went by the house where my ball was vacationing. he questioned the owners who said they don't know where the ball came from. their teenage daughter said her boyfriend gave it to her and his parents gave it to him. when i went home that night, the ball was no longer in their yard. the next day, the detective called me and said he had made an arrest and gave me a number to call to get my ball back. yesterday, i called the number but the officer wasn't there, i left a message but no call back. he's got my ball. maybe monday.

Put up a sign saying you have a friend in Hawaii who will send "magic" lava rocks to them and the curse of Mme Pele will be on them if they touch anything in your yard! I'd do it!!!

nope but i did get it back from the detectives today. they said not to throw it out because they may need it when the gal goes before the judge. i don't even know the folks who made off with it but did get the girl's name today (on the property release statement)

Do you think SHE did it or her kids? Cannot imagine stealing anything - especially in broad daylight as an adult. Cannot be all there...!

she is the kid! and when i carried it out to my car, i couldn't believe how someone made off with it so easily. it was awkward to lug back all at once.

House male has almost finished constructing new rose arches..... Now, what's next? Oh yes, raised beds in front and to the side, and a new lawn, and lay the patio slabs we were given recently. Not much to do really ....

i discovered cheap garden arches last year. did you know you can wire it with lights to go with all the seasons? and it looks sooo cool. forget buying a pre-lighted deal. do it yourself!
one of my fave accessories is really a tool-a lopper. a glorified pruning shear that will cut down small branches for your tree or shrub trimming. mine's manual (not one of those on the long sticks that you have to crank up either). anyway, i had pulled it out today and realized again why i like it.
