Yard Art



Duck and Wheel with String discovered Goose with Frock and Bonnet on her front step. Lin is so not into kitsch. I get that. But this has prodded me into making this terrible confession. We have concrete statuettes in our yard. This SWaSD tableau is in our back yard, not visible from the street. Nor can the next-door neighbors see them unless they are looking for them. Is there an excuse for this? Yes. Yes, there is. They make BBBH happy! So it is likely that each spring I will place them somewhere in the backyard. Each fall I'll lug them back into the barn to protect them from the ravages of winter. And Snow White weighs ninety pounds. [groan]

You should have a hand truck for hauling that bad girl around . . .

Let the dwarfs or is it "drarves" carry Snow White out to the gardens. They may even whistle while they work.

Chuck-- I do have a hand truck. Only tip the pedestal to jam the plate beneath. To think, I used to 'yard' 210# 10" sewer tile by hand, and now I think I couldn't lift this little girl. My, the toll the years take on the bod.

Bob--Dwarfs,drarves, or dwarves: whatever. I haven't been able to get them to turn wheel. Ever.

BUSTED! Now you need to notify my pally, Highway, and get yourself a score for your yard art/junk. Aw, but your Snow White and gang is very cute--I can see why you bring them in each winter. :)
