A garden surprise
What a nice birthday...thanks all. From breakfast in bed, to time spent with friends, to the day off from housework :) A very sweet day.
When good friends Kurt & Jenna came for brunch (at Tre Kronor, of course), they left this surprise in the garden...
A very lovely iron birdbath...a small one for our future small garden!
Kurt is our friend who is (what I call) a Landscape Artist. Yup, not a Landscape Architect...an ARTIST. He does beautiful things with gardens and water and bridges and fences and stone and such. He creates beautiful spaces with native plants and flowers. When he and Jenna were living in Hong Kong for three years, he studied the Asian methods of design and landscape aesthetics. (He is a true apostle of Frederick Law Olmsted.)
I can't wait until we can work on the garden. Is it obvious?

Happy happy birthday! I am so with you on feeling the gardening urge. I wish it was in our budget to hire a landscape "artist" ... I have NO clue what I'm doing!

Nice birdbath- I love the iron ones. How lucky you are to have a Landscape Artist for a pal. Nice daffodil too!
