Wow
Things are looking good. I love the way you built the house to let in so much light. I think a purple outhouse is a wonderful idea. Have you thought about buying silver glitter to stir into the paint? That would make it all shinny. What do you think of that, then paint a cresent moon in silver on the door..Just an idea.
You can buy glitter spray paint I think. You could put on a couple coats of purple, then spray the glitter lightly over top. And I love Autumn’s idea about the sparkly moon!
You found all those on the land!!! WOW!
Can I come for a visit and you can point them out to me!!
I’ve been told that I have an infestation of sawbriar in my roses. What can I do to control it?
Use it!! Here’s a great link about Sawbriar (it’s a member of the sarsaparilla family) and things you can do with it. Harvesting it for medicine and food would be a good way to keep it from over taking the roses…
