Outdoor Wednesday – Garden Ornaments

I had been eyeing a garden statue at my favorite consignment store for quite some time. Yesterday, I stopped by and saw a sign for 20 percent off garden statuary. The owner looked up the reduced price, which was around $39.00, but she discounted it further for me to $29.00!
The figure of an angel looks down on the posy held in one hand.
It has found a home in my new garden bed with its white flowers.

Another decorative garden object I had been wanting was now down to $14.99. It is an urn in an oval shape with up-curved ends.
It seems to be of terra cotta covered with cement. I like the interesting shape and was glad to take it home with me.
Here it holds a pot of Taifun White Bacopa flowers.

Urns and statuary add so much to the charm of the garden. So I am glad to add to the urns and planters I already have in place
Do you decorate your outdoor spaces with things other than flowers and other plants?

Angelic Assurance

As indicated in a previous post, I enjoy seeing the squirrels, robins and other birds in the yard. On my deck railing is this little statue of an angel admiring a small bird. It reminds me of the following promises in the Bible:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?
And not one of them falls to the ground
apart from your Father's will."

Matt. 10:29 NKJV

"So do not be afraid,

you are worth more than many sparrows."

Matt. 10:31 NIV

"For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways."

Ps. 91:11 NKJV

Have a great day!

Friday Show and Tell - Critters on the Deck

Show and tell Friday is hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.

I really enjoy looking at the industrious birds and squirrels as they go about their daily activities in the trees. On my deck I have a few garden ornaments which relate to my enjoyment of the creatures in the yard.

Here on the railing is a squirrel which is actually a lawn sprinkler. I have never used it as such, but keep it to accessorize the deck. He is very busy having a tasty morsel.

A small cement bunny rests on a wire table along with a potted fern and terracotta accents.


A tin hen and her four chicks look at home near the potted ‘hens and chicks’ or sempervivum.
