The fires sure have given us more visits to the gardens. These guys were here last year and it was good to see them again. This one stuck around long enough for me to grab the camera after noticing him through my dirty, ashy window. There were two but this one was right close by…

~Kind Of Cute~
Here’s Witch Green Thumb. She comes out once a year and pulls up a seat anywhere she deems fitting. She’s done with her flying days but she still gets around and can have some attitude. You can kind of see that here with her giving me the stink eye. She wasn’t going to move over…
~Swinging & Singing~
Pull up a seat, swing and sing. This oak has been determined to be between 200-300 years old and has been registered so we love it. Most of the big oaks on the property are at least that age and they are the perfect trees to sit under and relax for awhile. Robust, strong, and…
~Mr. Creepy Pulls Up A Seat~
Via his homestead in the Tuff Shed, Mr. Creepy has arrived on his new seasonal chair. If you recall The Pine Throne post, we had to cut a tree down on the property and I had the guys make a seat for upcoming garden travelers. Mr. Creepy has decided it is his for the season…
~The Beer Garden Crew~
Sometimes taking a walk around the gardens is worthy. I noticed a few things today. This guy decided to pull up a seat and grab a beer right on top of the moss and stein. Gotta love a sloppy gnome. Here’s a fellow getting off work and heading toward the beer gardens. He’s trouble, I…
~Vinyl Memories In Check~
After the material on this bench went kaput, it was time to not only update it but give it some weather proofing material. Getting tired of taking cushions off every night and then putting them back on in the morning, prompted the lazy in me for another material type for the outdoors. So against everything…
~Bench At The Old Man Tree~
This little bench was found under some brush at the bottom of the yard. So it got some cleaning and a new spot for the lizard to pull up a seat. It is always a hike to get here and there on this property so when this was found it had to go where I…
~Lounge Seating~
The mini housing estates are over in this direction on the property and this lounge is a planned spot for pulling up a seat while working on them. I’ve had it for centuries it seems and it is all chipped and worn, but for some reason I can’t get rid of it. This part, as…
~Wicker Seating~
~Someone is sitting in the shade today…that would be me. ~ Me
~The Pine Throne~
Another place to pull up a seat for the fairies and gnomes. It is too sticky for humans but it will work just fine. We had to cut a pine down *sigh*. It was just in the wrong place for the electricity and the winds were due to blow it down. It was also to…
~The Bench At Hummingbird Oak~
This is one of the original built in benches on this property. There are a couple of spots like this under some of the Oaks to just sit and take in the shade. The hummingbirds like this particular tree I guess because it is secured and they know I feed them. I have to stand…

~ A New Look~
Today a couple of wooden chairs got a makeover for this year. It was time. So now I can pull up a seat in a refreshed new color and soon enough, fresh new cushions for them. Another Pull Up A Seat has been accomplished in the yard. I like this challenge of finding spots to…
~Lemon Blossoms~
This lemon tree is budding while holding it’s own fruit still. The lemons are delicious and the blossoms smell delightful. I get a couple of large bucketfuls to not only make lemonade but to made lemon curd from them, along with anything else in a recipe. A lemon garlic something sounds good tonight. I thought…
